I would think in this technology age the scans could be sent electronically.

You would think. Along with records. You never knew what you were going to get when we subpoenaed records. Sometimes it was nothing, and other times it was 2500 pages of paper.

I ran into the same thing at Vanderbilt. I had to get a copy of my disc from my local hospital, because they wouldn't send a copy to them. I don't know if it's about competition or what.

A lot of times it's because the second hospital won't load disks to their systems in case there is a virus. They can't risk having their electronic records systems corrupted, whether accidentally or maliciously.

I just talked to the VA to find out about my consult. Everything is in Nashville, for them to set it up. One minor hitch. They also need the disc with my scans on it sent to Nashville also, so they can review them. So, I will be going to Knoxville one day this week (they want them this week) to pick them up. Would have been nice to know this earlier instead of me having to call and find out. Geez.

Did they do the scans at the Knoxville CBOC? If so, it's in CPRS (VA electronic record), and they have access in Nashville, and they shouldn't need physical disks. Weird.

If Knoxville fee'd you out for radiology, then that's where things screw up. When the VA fee's out a patient to a non-VA provider, the non-VA provider is ***supposed*** to provide all records immediately back to the VA. It's part of continuity of care, and it's part of HIPAA. Many of them refuse to do so until they get paid, which is illegal, but they don't seem to care.

(I could rant about this for hours, as you can tell. lol, sort of)

I pull up scanned-in records when I'm trying to code contract nursing home charts, and the patient came from a non-VA hospital. Sometimes I get something useful (OMG, a discharge summary!!), and other times it's hundreds of pages of labs and nursing notes. Lots of entries about soft, brown formed stools...

I used to work for an internal medicine group. Lots of older patients. One of the hemoccult envelopes came to the office (I took them to the lab when the mail was delivered), and it was thick. The little man didn't understand what to do, so he used the tissue in the kit to wrap up a sample.

We've had this crap with my wife. Went to Atlanta, then had to reschedule because she had the records but not the cd.

It's amazing how some are very detailed and some are not. I remember in one case the daughter was suing her dad because he got in a wreck, and her child was in the backseat, claiming the child was injured. It was a single car accident, he had passed out and wrecked. The childs records had nothing helpful. We actually got the dads records since he was our client - but his were highly detailed to the point that it talked about the daughter bringing him in concerned about his health and well being - which was before the accident. It's like thanks for helping out case out!

It's a different department that handles the records and the cds.

Sorry to hear the VA is making this so difficult every step of the way

On my way to Knoxville, I saw a school bus that had a big advertisement for subway on the side. Is that a thing now?

 

[TopsideVol]

You know, that’s was one of the things I thought about, when I saw that. Just so wrong and still fresh memory.

Wow. I’m sorry, I had to go back to picture a second time to get it, and that’s the sweetest picture I’ve ever seen on here. (By the way, you and your wife made beautiful children).
