ADVANCE for Health Information Executives: "In a recent Wall Street Journal poll, 83 percent of respondents to a survey about Web-based interaction with their physician's office said they thought there was room for improvement in how they communicated with their doctor and their doctor's communications with them.
'There is a large gap between what the patient population expects and demands. That's an important trend to note, because people are now asking hospitals and health care providers where their treatment results will be stored,' Martin Pellinat, president and founder of VisionTree Software, based in San Diego, said during an interview."
This is actually a big opportunity for hospitals ! Giving their patients a PHR will help them to empower their patients with information - and also make life easier for their doctors, as they won't need to hunt for medical records ( since patients will keep these carefully )
