Consumers find Electronic Health Records invaluable with government support. However, a survey funded by Commonwealth Fund, Merck & Co., Inc., WellPoint, Inc. and the California HealthCare Foundation in Aug' 2011, also suggests that, data breach continues to be an issue with people.
The survey report includes a series of policy recommendations in the areas of consumer education, and functional and privacy requirements for a variety of federal programs.
"The survey shows that patients see tremendous value in the power of electronic health records to improve the way care is delivered by facilitating better communication and helping them become active partners in their own care. Its findings offer important messages about how to build, implement and use health IT systems in ways that are meaningful and beneficial to patients and their families," said Dr. Farzad Mostashari, National Coordinator for Health IT, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The new survey is available at www.NationalPartnership.org/HIT. More information at www.NationalPartnership.org.
