What Patients Need

Personal Access

All of my health information is readily accessible to me and my caregivers in one place when I need it.

Care Team Access

All of my data is readily accessible to all of my care team through their EHR, regardless of their practice affiliation.

Usefulness

I can understand my data and health information makes sense to me.

Awareness and Education

I understand my rights to data access, how and by whom my data is used and can advocate for myself and others.
