Here is my questions.

If most medical records are now paperless, why does it take so long to get an aps from a doctor?

Most are not. They will now have to convert to EMR or face still fines courtesy of the Obama administration.

Records are stored offsite if they are more than a year old and have to be retrieved.

A lot of the delay is the docs insisting on having their own HIPAA release forms signed and getting payment before they release info. I have had cases where it took 2 months before the doc finally agreed to release records.

I have Kaiser and look at my records all the time at kp.org .

Just thought the process would get faster now, with most records going paperless and online.
