A1- A secure website that gives consumers access to their personal health records. #healthcarechat

A1 Patient portals, when developed properly, give 24hr on-line access to health records #healthcarechat

To me Patient Portals are where a patient can check their records. Unfortunately, it lacks certain aspects often. #Healthcarechat

Q2 In your opinion, have portals been widely successful with patients . . .with practices? #healthcarechat

A1 Good slide deck here: portal overview #healthcarechat #HIMSS Santosh Mohan hubs.ly/H02-7WS0

Q3 Security vs. usability; is it a choice or can both be achieved? #healthcarechat

A3- A must! If a system can't be secured, no user will want to enter their personal information into it. #healthcarechat

Kez! I often think the problem w/ this in healthcare is the unwillingness to share tech #healthcarechat

Q4 The question of data & who owns it persists.What can patients safely control & what should remain w/i provider’s purview? #healthcarechat

A4 When I entered HC sector many years ago, I intuitively thought patients should control their data w/ HCP management #healthcarechat

IMO, it should not. It doesn’t even have anything to do with one another. #healthcarechat x.com/ShereesePubHlt…

@ShereesePubHlth IMO, The perceived security that providers think they have is an excuse for keeping pt data #healthcarechat

THIS #healthcarechat x.com/MCMasterContro…

Agreed. #healthcarechat x.com/ShereesePubHlt…

Thank you all for a great chat, once again! It’s always a pleasure. #healthcarechat
