Coalition for Care Partners: Shared Access Toolkits for Patients & Care Partners and for Clinicians & Health Systems
The Coalition for Care Partners has released two new shared access toolkits that offer information about shared access (also called proxy access) to online patient portals. The "Patients and their Care Partners Toolkit" helps adult patients learn how to share access to their medical records with someone they trust and teaches how patient/family advisors can advocate for increasing shared access at their health system. The "Clinicians & Health Systems Toolkit" helps clinicians, staff and health care systems learn why shared access matters to patients and their care partners and how to make shared access more available.
Coalition for Care Partners, a collaboration between OpenNotes and the Roger C. Lipitz Center for Integrated Health Care (Lipitz Center) at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, is an effort to build knowledge and tools directed at strengthening health system capacity to systematically identify, engage, and support care partners in care delivery.
Care partners profoundly impact the quality of care but are often not well-supported and struggle to get the information they need.
