JMIR Aging Paper: Shared Access to Patient Portals for Older Adults - Implications for Privacy and Digital Health Equity
JMIR Aging has published a viewpoint article, "Shared Access to Patient Portals for Older Adults: Implications for Privacy and Digital Health Equity."
The paper discusses challenges and opportunities of systematic engagement of care partners through shared access to the patient portal that have been amplified in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and recent implementation of federal information blocking rules to promote information transparency alongside broader shifts toward care delivery innovation and population aging. The article, by Jennifer L. Wolff, PhD, et al, is especially timely as the importance of transparency in electronic health care interactions will undoubtedly grow in future years.
