Anyone know anything about Medical Health Records (MHR) offered by Medicare? (helps all your loved ones dr's review each others records)

It helps all your loved ones dr's review each others records

I'm not sure this is all in place yet - it's a goal. However, you can check at www.medicare.gov to watch for developments. If doctors can all view records, the theory is that we or our elders will be better and more uniform treatment. That makes sense to me. There's so much duplication of tests, and also often conflicting treatments, when doctors aren't aware of everything that has been done.

Check out the Medicare site for more information.
