Survey Confirms Majority of Patient Want Online Access to Health Records

In a recent survey by Accenture, two-thirds of the patients surveyed believe patients should have the right to access all of their healthcare information. In addition, more than half of people with chronic conditions say the ability to get their electronic medical records online outweighs the potential privacy risks. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 47 percent of Americans have at least one chronic disease, but they account for 76 percent of all physician visits.
