Is there a "standard" medical record, or does each system implement its own proprietary format? Are the records transferrable? If so, why am I asked to fill out a complete medical history form on paper every time I visit the a doctor, as if I'm a new patient, when all the doctors I see are in the same network and presumably use the same EHR system.
