Coalition for Care Partners: Shared Access to the Patient Portal for Older Adults Learning Collaborative Quarterly Meetings

Shared Access Collaborative

Coalition for Care Partners has convened a Learning Collaborative on Proxy Access for Older Adults for health care organizations, patients, clinicians, vendors, and care partners. The collaborative is holding quarterly, one-hour meetings - the next meeting will be held on January 23.

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.

The team is working on patient portal-based solutions to help older adults and their care partners get the information they need and has convened a learning collaborative for increasing care partner adoption of the patient portal and other health information technology innovations aimed at increasing access to health information.

At this seventh quarterly meeting, Greg Link, from the federal Administration for Community Living (ACL), will discuss the National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers and how to advance the use of health information technologies, such as shared portal access, to support and better engage with care partners as part of the care team.
