Patients must sign a patient confidentiality waiver, allowing the doctor to discuss their previous medical history in front of/with the rest of the group visit members.
From the article... "Massachusetts, the proud model for likely Obama-Kennedy reform, is trying a new answer for the problem of a severe doctor shortage: group appointments.
Deluged with demand from newly insured patients, doctors have no room on their appointment schedules for all the new patients. At Holyoke Medical Center, it takes 4 months to get an appointment. A patient with chronic Lyme disease can’t find a single primary physician in three towns who will accept a new patient, so she goes to the emergency room, recounting her history to a different intake nurse, for all medical needs, including her regular prescriptions."

I read the comments. I wouldn't doubt that what these MD's are saying is the absolute truth about this.

How do you feel about waiving your right to patient confidentiality? Allowing doctors to dicuss your medical history and current health issues with a group of random strangers? Are you good with that?

I'd say Scott Geller, MD's comments are well in line with the theme of this thread.
