It has been estimated that nearly 56 million patients have accessed their health information online via a patient portal. These patient portals connect the patient with their health record maintained by their physician. A recent Manhattan research study found that an additional 41 million patients are also interested in accessing their health records online.
With new technology it takes some time for the general public to develop trust and welcome this new technology into their daily lives. It is estimated in 2011 that now over 50% of people in the USA pay their bills electronically. This percentage continues to increase each year. As more and more people learn the benefits of accessing their health record information online, the percentage of people that access their heath information through a patient portal will continue to increase.
