This is what the IT companies for journal systems all over Sweden tell us, the healthcare workers, when we and the patients complain that the systems are overly complicated and take too much time to work with.
”No, we can’t make the journal system smooth and efficient due to GDPR”.
Maybe in your field? Tell that to healthcare workers. Don’t you want your doctor to know about your medical history and what medications you’re taking, without having to wait and see you first to be able to ask you? GDPR HAS to be revised.
I completely agree! GDPR was good in theory, but it’s really hindering us in practice. Coming from someone working in healthcare.
Finally!!! GDPR strongly needs a revision. I work in healthcare in Sweden, where many hospitals recently have gotten a new digital journal system. In theory it would be a really good one, but because of GDPR we still have to rely on printing papers, and sending them to other clinics via post or fax. How in the world does that protect our privacy better than just using the digital services that are built to do this?!
All my patients expect me to have ready up on their medical history, and know what medications they take, so that I am up to date about what they need. But in order to do that, I first have to ask for their permission, and THEN open their journal. It has to be the other way around - that you can actively block healthcare personnel from reading your journal if you for some reason don’t want them to.
Revising the GDPR to make it less intrusive in healthcare, would increase our ability to see more patients and spend less time on administrative tasks, which I think everyone is positive to.
First of all - I’m shocked that anyone would use a thumb up like in your last example. That’s obviously extremely rude and disrespectful.
Second of all - I’m shocked that some people can’t see the difference of the usage of the thumb up and believe that it’s always rude, regardless of context.
I understand how someone can see a thumbs up as something rude in certain circumstances. What I’m having a hard time understanding is that some people seem to believe that the thumb up is ALWAYS rude.
What is rude, as you say, is the lack of a proper response, depending on the conversation. Not the thumb in itself.
No. Thumbs up means that I agree with you. I know that the younger generation has started interpreting a thumbs up as something negative though, which just blows my mind.
Love this! We definitely should try to spread Linux to become more accessible and popular.
What the actual fuck? 🤯😠
I just installed Linux Mint yesterday. Can’t wait to get home to continue playing around with it. I like it so far!
I’m talking about journal entries from clinics other than my own. If I want to know what happened to a patient in the ER last week, I first have to get the patient’s permission to open that part of the journal. It literally says so in the IT system when I try to click that part of the system, and I have to state a reason for opening it. The reason is always the same - I need it to make the best, most updated and safe decisions about my patient.
