Shoulder Surgery 22 (Records)
One thing I do like about U of M Medical is its patient portal. The awful clinic didn't even =have= a portal, and I had to specially request the chance to look at my own records. UM is the polar opposite.
UM enters every single patient interaction, and in great detail, including the doctor or therapist's personal observations. ("Patient would benefit from...." "Patient seems to be....") When I have a session of PT, everything is entered into the portal--what I did, how I responded to it, even how I walked and acted that day. At first, it startled me. It was like looking into the caregiver's mind. Then I liked it. I have an excellent record of everything, which makes me less anxious about visits.
The portal has all test results, all images, everything. They even imported my records from other, non-UM, hospitals. The procedures I underwent at Ford and at Beaumont are all there.
They're miles ahead of the Other Place, and I like it.
