Why not use a chip inside our Medicare card? We need it for treatment
anyway so why not have a system wherein the treating clinician uploads
their notes or discharge summary into that chip. Then security is
dependent on physical access with presumably some sort of PIN/Biometric.
Chip can be scrambled so unreadable without correct code. Then the
patient is completely in charge. If they want the treatment recorded
they have to present the card else it will not be recorded. A true
patient medical record, My Medical Record!

The only potential value I can see might relate to someone with a chronic
condition which rendered them unable to talk about it in an emergency
situation. But even then, they might be better served by wearing a
medical-bracelet containing the relevant information.
It would certainly be cheaper...
And people can take photos of their meds, or cut up a bit of the box it
comes in and put it in their wallet or purse, or write it down...... And
you don't need the internet or computer skills.
And a lot safer than giving your data to the government.
