For patients, accessing their health information online is often a confusing and downright painful process. Sadly, few patients know what to ask for or what information should be available to them, and not nearly enough health care organizations are equipped to meet their requests.
To change that, a coalition of patient advocates today has launched the Get My Health Data Campaign to support patients in asking for, getting and effectively using their digital health data.
Campaign Overview
The campaign has three goals:
1. give consumers the information and tools they need to ask for and use their digital health data
2. identify and promote innovative apps and tools that help consumers securely compile, store and use their health data
3. promote a culture in which consumer access to data is the rule, rather than the exception
