Workshop: Patients’ digital access to their health record: A service for all?

To increase patients’ empowerment and involvement in their own health, several countries have decided to provide patients with digital access to their health records. However, each country has their own approach and practices. Access can also range wildly from region to region, being fully digital in some but only partially available in others. Based on the experience with patients’ digital access to their health record, the workshop will explore the rationale for designing the service: Is full, digital access the goal? In what circumstances is it acceptable to limit access? The workshop aims to increase knowledge and awareness in Europe regarding patients’ access to their health record. We will discuss the technical, legal, organizational, practical and cultural barriers for a service for all, as well as investigating possibilities for the future.

-Healthcare professionals with experience in researching, planning, and/or implementing a digital access service for their patients.
