Patients Flock to Online Records and Health Apps - Digital Health Wire

preview

Skip to contentDigital patient experiences are becoming more important than ever, with new figures from the ONC showing a massive jump in demand for ways to access health information online.The 2022 Health Information National Trends Survey (n=6,252) found that the portion of US adults who accessed their medical records through online tools jumped 50% between 2020 and 2022, from 38% to 57%.The ONC attributed the trend in part to the Cures Act Final Rule, which in 2020 introduced new requirements for standardized APIs for smartphone health apps.Most of the patients accessing their online records or patient portals are using them to view test results (90%) and clinical notes (70%), but only 1 in 3 are sharing that info with a third party.The TakeawayDespite the strides we’re making in patient access and the use of online medical records, the ONC’s report highlights plenty of room for improvement. Nearly half of all patients either weren’t offered or didn’t access their records / portal in 2022, and recent studies have shown significant disparities in those who do. There’s also still a relatively low percentage of patients sharing their health information, which like many of these issues, indicates a need for better education on these features.Check out the other stories from this issue here:Digital Experiences Gain Steam | Suki ExpansionGet the top digital health stories right in your inboxThe White House’s executive order on artificial intelligence is finally here, and the laissez-faire era of AI regulation is over.AI medical scribe Abridge lands $30M Series B from Spark Capital and strategics like CVS Health, Kaiser Permanente, and Mayo Clinic.Teladoc’s Q3 numbers are in, and they were “mixed” enough to weigh down the broader digital health sector.Completely free.
