I read in Kaplan and Saddock "Brief Synopsis of Psychiatry" that there is the hope that ones file might be put on a database computer chip and inserted into the body. This would assist clinicians with access and continuity of care issues. I was absolutely horrified. I think that there is a difference between clinicians notes that are intended for their personal use, and ones that become part of a (I think this is the term) public register which is accessible to any medical provider and / or insurance company
