The management of medical records in the current climate of fragmented and managed care has created very real and present difficulties for physicians. Florida law protects the patient's right to the medical record and insures confidentiality and access. Similar protections for physicians, to allocate the costs of 20th century record keeping fairly among the parties, and to insure the physician access to information necessary to treat the patient or to defend himself, are essential but so far not forthcoming.
在当前医疗服务分散且实行管理式医疗的环境下，病历管理给医生带来了非常现实且紧迫的困难。佛罗里达州法律保护患者获取病历的权利，并确保信息保密和可获取。同样有必要为医生提供类似保护，以便在各方之间公平分摊20世纪病历保管的成本，并确保医生能够获取治疗患者或为自己辩护所需的信息，但目前尚未实现。
