My concerns have to do with the possibility of "mistransmission" of the medical records. If someone hits the wrong button, who knows where those records might wind up. It just makes me nervous for medical records to be digitized and transmitted. Perhaps I'm being both old-fashioned and paranoid? Keep up the good work at http://www.socialsecurityinsider.com.

I also realize the electronic folder system is still a work in progress. In practice I am more concerned about the central hearing office for video hearings. Sure, let's put more distance between the the ALJ and the claimant! I am not that worried about the idea of "instantaneous access." I figure that just means SSA will have the records as soon as they are transmitted with no delay caused by moving the physical pieces of paper through the mail. But, the big problem with electronic records is that it is still an absolute bear to sort and rearrange electronic pages.
