Consumer Health Information Issues
• Understanding on-line health information
• Access to personal health records
• Regulatory requirements are coming
• Commercial sites for giving patients access to their data
• What will happen to the patient?
• What will happen to the patient-provider relationship?

The Patient Clinical Information System (PatCIS)
• New York Presbyterian Hospital clinical data repository
• Web-based Clinical Information System (WebCIS)
• National Information Infrastructure contract from NLM:– give patients WebCIS– see what happens
• Pilot study conducted

• None reported
![Page 21: An Evaluation of Patient Access to their Electronic Medical Records via the World Wide Web](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062816/56814adc550346895db7f439/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Discussion
• Architecture supports integration, security and tracking
• Enrollment was disappointing
• Population was highly selected: by MD, by self, by Web
• Two patterns: monthly and daily
• Log-on difficulties overcome
• Laboratories are the most popular
• Other usability and usefulness issues are under study
![Page 22: An Evaluation of Patient Access to their Electronic Medical Records via the World Wide Web](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062816/56814adc550346895db7f439/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Conclusion
• Secure, usable Web-based access to records by patients is possible
• Some patients find it useful
• Enthusiasm is not universal
• Cognitive issues are being studied now
