However, avoiding hoops to jump through that are not mandated by HIPAA and ethics should be the norm rather than an aberration. Indeed, the use of regional healthcare networks and other collectives of patient providers allow for efficient sharing and disseminating of records and doing all of this in the proper way is of huge importance (Jamshed, Ozair, Sharma & Aggarwal, 2015)
Even with that, there are patients that resist that and this is unavoidable. However, the point is that the office or provider should not be the source of this slowness or bottleneck (Layman, 2016)
