Patient access to electronic health records (EHR) is increasingly available globally. Research indicates that with basic safety measures, EHR access offers significant benefits for patients and clinicians, making it a safe and valuable advancement.

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Patient Empowerment
  • Digital Health Records

Background:

  • Multiple global systems now allow patients to access their electronic health records (EHR).
  • Access methods include secure kiosks with fingerprint authentication and online portals.
  • The UK National Health Service (NHS) approach and legal framework for patient record access are detailed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the benefits and risks associated with patient access to electronic health records.
  • To explore the implications of patient record access on clinical documentation practices.
  • To advocate for national standards in electronic health record sharing.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing research on the benefits and risks of patient EHR access.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Analysis of the UK NHS model for patient record access.
  • Discussion of potential impacts on record-keeping and the need for standardization.

    • Main Results:

    • Patient access to EHR is considered an irreversible trend.
    • With simple precautions, patient EHR access is safe and provides benefits to patients and clinicians.
    • Record access may lead to a co-produced documentation model.

    Conclusions:

    • Patient access to electronic health records is safe and beneficial.
    • Simple precautions are sufficient to mitigate risks associated with EHR access.
    • Development of national standards for record sharing is crucial for future implementation.
