Abstract:
Personal electronic health records (PEHRs) enable patients access to their own medical records. Differences in access and use of PEHRs may create health disparities. We conducted a narrative literature review regarding the effects of race, language preference, education, income, and homelessness on PEHR usage as well as PEHRs content, particularly stigmatizing language. Of 3177 citations found, 75 articles were relevant. Patient race, language, income, and education predicted PEHR use, which could potentially exacerbate health disparities.
