Patient Accessible Electronic Health Records: Exploring Recommendations for Successful Implementation Strategies | Wiljer | Journal of Medical Internet Research

Most participants agreed that access to the EHR is a fundamental patient right and that the implementation of PAEHRs should not be delayed.

There was also an important discussion and debate about when results should be provided—in real-time, after physician approval, or after a specified time delay. A balance must be struck between making the information available to patients in a timely fashion that supports self-managed care and patient safety so that patients are not unduly stressed by complex and ambiguous information. However, it is evident that the health care community is currently divided on this issue.

The New Life of e-Patient Dave: Dr. Dan and I speak at Connected Health

I watched this, and you should too. I’m just posting the first video – the rest are on Dave’s blog. In the first few minutes, Dave unearths the issue of patient safety – “my radiology report listed me as a 53 year old woman.” Imagine how different health care would be if patients were part of the accuracy/quality loop for every interaction.

Note the all-star cast of audience members asking questions in the last video.
