 | News: Medical Records Online |  |
 If you have ever driven to your doctor's office to get a copy of your medical records, you may have wished for an easier way.
Soon you will have it, as an increasing number of doctors and hospitals move to make medical records web-accessible to patients.
"We're going to absolutely love the convenience," said Phil Yanov of the GSA Technology Council. "I think in the end, the convenience will probably trump what is a very legitimate privacy concern."
Keeping online medical records safe from thieves is just one concern. Some worry that the information may be shared with insurance companies.
"I personally would be fearful of that," said Carin Slader of Medical Data Services. "An insurance company would say, 'oh I see you were diagnosed with ABC. That means we're not going to give your coverage for ABC for the next two years until we're sure that that's gone.' "
