What used to be a well thought out,experienced, Medical consultation report about 1 or 2 paragraphs has become multiple pages of Useless Gibberish. You are forced to search for the grain among the chaff.
I have worked with specialists in various specialities in 1970s and 80s where they would spend an hour examining and explaining and interacting with the patient then write 2 to 4 absolutely relevant sentences or pickup the phone and talk to the referring GP or another specialist.
Now just like the useless gibberish of radiology reports consultation reports are useless multi page gibberish.

When the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was enacted in 1996 establishing national standards for healthcare EDI transactions, the WEDI was one of the instruments used to implement it.
