I thought it over this morning and decided not to attempt using a program to read in the CCD information. There are too many providers that are not on board yet so there would be tremendous data entry to do. For now I'm keeping it simple. In my dropbox folder I created a medical folder with subfolders for particular categories such as:
MEDICAL
|_VISITS
|_IMAGING
|_PROCEDURES
|_SURGERIES
|_CORRESPONDENCE
It is easy enough for me to scan the check-out form from the doctor and save it to these folders. I would like to learn to add OCR to those scans though. I have an HP OfficeJet 6100 but I don't know anything about OCR.
Using this method it is easy enough for me to see when I had certain appointments, procedures and images taken. I can use it on any of my mac's or on my ios devices. I think it is very portable also as pdf is not going away anytime soon.
According to the dropbox website the data is encrypted on their end and cannot be viewed. When transmitted to me it is protected by ssl encryption. So I think there is a reasonable level of security in place and I'm not really putting anything sensitive there anyway. For now I think this is a good solution.
