Most agree that the idea of having a centralized profile of your healthcare information is important, but privacy and other concerns are still apparent. Although the ideal solution would be to visit the same doctor each time you have an ailment. That way he/she is aware of any conditioned you might have and has a clear background on your health history. Since this is not always possible, a centralized information system to store healthcare information could be the answer. The problem with this form of information exchange is that the information may be open to interpretation. One doctor's opinion may be drastically different than another’s, rendering the information useless.

An alternate approach might be to create a centralized system that is controlled by the patient themselves. This would allow a patient to have a medical history that is always comprehensive and up to date. Patients could then control how their information will be used. In these cases, there is no more room for interpretation from one doctor to the next since the patient ultimately creates their own profile based on their medical history.
