April 8, 2021 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 3 minutes

I've been wondering: Will the 21st Century Cures Act Final Rule change how doctors document? Recently Skeptical Scalpel (surgeon, writer and senior member of the Twitter intelligentsia) shared the experience of a family member who was worried about her cervical MRI report: My 38 year old non-medical daughter just got the results of her cervical spine MRI online. ...

February 18, 2021 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 5 minutes

December 23, 2020 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 3 minutes
