Connecting for Health

Description

Connecting for Health was convened by the Markle Foundation to address the challenges of mobilizing information to empower patients to maintain and improve their health and enable health care providers to offer safer higher quality care. The Personal Health Working Group fielded an online survey on consumer attitudes towards a Personal Health Record: an Internet-based set of tools that allows people to access and coordinate their lifelong health information and make appropriate parts of it available to those who need it. This fact sheet presents the results of the online survey.
