Much needed policies needed in the US

 We need a universal medical records database to improve healthcare in the United States. The database will be used by doctors, researchers, and patients, but most importantly it will be used to improve the quality and cost-effectiveness of healthcare. Doctors will be able to track and share information about patients, both clinical and administrative. Researchers will be able to conduct studies that will improve the quality and the cost. Patients will be able to keep track of their own medical records. And in the future, when a patient needs a new medical procedure or a new medication, the doctor will have a complete medical history. It would also help prevent medical errors and improve patient safety, along with stop the abuse of pain medication and medical treatments. There are many ways to implement a universal medical records database, including the National Health Information Network (NHIN). This project was initiated by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in 2003, and it is funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. This project is still in its infancy and there are many challenges that must be overcome.


We also need a universal mental health records system that can be used by all mental health professionals to track and share information about patients. This information can include treatment plans, progress reports, and patient notes. It is imperative that all of these records are stored in a central database. The database will be available to anyone who needs it, including doctors, social workers, therapists, and even law enforcement. This can and would be helpful in a number of different ways. Including in the purchase of a firearm.

When it comes to firearm purchases, I believe that it should also be required that the registered gun owner or purchaser has to purchase a safe in which only the registered gun owner should have access to it. it would be better if they had a separate place that all ammo can be stored and locked away from the firearm this would also include any clip that may be included with the weapon. This is not to much to ask for and it wouldn't impede on anyone's second amendment rights.
