medical records

[Noelle <http://dummy.us.eu.org/robert>]

I was disappointed in the story about computerizing medical records and 
privacy issues that you did not interview a representative from the American 
Health Information Association. AHIMA is the national organization for 
health information professionals (i.e. medical records professionals)and 
is the vital link between the patient and the medical staff. AHIMA 
members feel that confidentiality is the most important responsibility of 
those who work in the medical records office. Unfortunately the public is 
not aware of the health information profession (it is one of the fastest 
growing professions in the U.S.), and even members of the medical 
profession do not appreciate the importance of this profession.
Otherwise, it was an important and interesting report.
