I think you misunderstand. I have no issue with the platform, if the platform is a complete end-to-end replacement that consumers can use. But that’s not the case. They want you to use the platform, and they’re going to send you pounds of paper in the mail. I don’t want both. It should be either or! If I sign up for my chart, put everything in there. Send me emails. Why are you going to make me sign up for my chart, and now you’re going to send me a statement every single week or month? Wtf? I need both?
Comment on Health management platforms have to be the biggest waste of money I've ever seen

I’m taking a stance against these platforms by always declining to ever create an account on them when the doctor’s office asks. Having medical data accessible like this is just asking for an attack, followed by a leak. And then I can only assume insurance companies buy these leaked databases and adjust rates accordingly.

No I get you. I just had a different problem with the same platforms that I wanted to voice.

Imagine a aingle payer world where our medical information being shared had no monetary impact.
Yeah, people can do other malicious things, but there wouldn’t a financial incentive for the conpanies that have access to it.
grudan@programming.dev 1 month ago
Some things can be potentially embarrassing so your information could still be used against you by cyber gangs for money, so even though it’s no monetary impact for companies, the information still has a value.

So forcing everyone to use a single system, where everything about them can be known.
And we know how “secure” these systems aren’t.
Dont be naive.

No, single payer as in who pays the bills, not centralizing everyone’s medical history.

I’m talking out of my ass, but your data is likely still there whether you choose to create an account or not; so you’re still susceptible to data breaches either way.

I like to hope that my data won’t be released to companies like mychart without my consent.

If the doctor uses mychart, thats where they store the internal data whether you have an account or not. Its their entire computer system most of the time.
grudan@programming.dev 1 month ago
Yeah, a couple people are saying that, but I can’t find any information on how it’s implemented for providers. Regardless, not having an account is one less avenue for my information to be leaked. I do worry more about the doctor’s security practices (2FA, password complexity, password rotation, etc…) than my own.

You don’t have a clear picture.
My Chart is just a module of Epic systems. If it’s accessible to you, it means your healthy care provider uses epic as EMR. You data is there, that’s how the hospital or health care provider office works

What does this mean? MyChart is a software solution used by many medical providers. They don’t “release” medical information to them.
This would be like thinking someone using Office on their computer is “releasing” and documents they create to Microsoft.

I mean, with o365, you technically do. Your example doesn’t work as well as you think it does.
