That's interesting that psych records can be blocked there. I'm not sure what the system is here, if there's an option for that? I mean, my pdoc isn't linked with the other records I have, but if I went to the ER for psych issues, it would presumably end up on there.

Hmm, I'm thinking since you're in the USA, it might depend on your state?
I didn't do Healthcare IT but one of my old jobs involved a similar system. The more locations and users, the harder it is, apparently. Even if you have millions in your budget.
I spent a couple of years (after my 1st psychiatrist) where a GP did my med management, and he hated updating the national system, although he was obligated to do so. He basically constantly complained how slow it was, and I don't think it was purely poor network connection in his little clinic. If he could avoid it, he wouldn't update the national system. I found out when I decided I needed a psychiatrist again because my current one remarked on the missing years and dosages in my records. [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38][emoji38]
