If you donate enough money to a certain large hospital group in the Seattle area, they put a special annotation on your electronic medical record for the doctors taking care of you to see. I wonder what I am supposed to do with this information?
Imagine if all members of the health care system, not just the clinicians, had explicit ethical codes that they took seriously.
Like, imagine for one second if people that graduated with a master's in health administration took a oath to do no harm and then thought about that oath on a daily basis.
Imagine if I could drop a flag in a patient’s medical record that identified them as financially precarious and at high risk of eviction so that this Non-Profit Organization’s billing office would stop sending them to collections.
