Now What On Earth Is Going On Here? More Stuffing About It Would Seem. Talk About Tiny Steps Forward.

Just got this when I tried to access my NEHRS:

National eHealth Record System Provider Portal Login

ENTER

Ensure you have a valid NASH Token connected.

The NASH (National Authentication Services for Health) is a digital credential for healthcare professionals.
Here is the link:

Given NASH does not exist - it is clear clicking that did not work. Going back things were back to routine!
As mentioned, later we were back to normal and I got into my NEHRS.

I checked on the integration and got this!

At last I found the summary screen and guess what it was 3 months out of date! I filled repeats in June, July and I think August. Of course the times are just nonsense - a date would do!

What to say? We have old, incomplete and very clumsy records that no doctor could love. Given I know the medication records are close to 3 months out of date it is hard to really believe this would hardly help much - some, but not what was needed. Definitely a start but jinx a lot of work is needed on interface, utility and so on.
Personal note: These medications are for hypertension, arthritis, gout (family history) and so on so be not concerned - they are not a secret and many over 60 are on such meds. Seeing what we are being offered in the NEHRS is more vital so people can form a view on what is being done. To anyone who wonders all the meds are working well and all my parameters are fabulous now! e.g My blood pressure is 110/70!

Hope this helps others to set up a record and see for themselves.

It seems to me utterly clear that no clinician was involved in the design of this or we would not see what we have been given. This is incompetent rubbish compared with what was possible with some consultation and effort!

David.
