Lunchtime Scientific Series: Åsa Cajander (Uppsala University) will talk about Patients Accessible Electronic Health Records

Abstract

In Sweden patients can read their electronic health records online including test results, medical history and diagnoses. The launch of this system raised strong concerns among health care professionals who strongly opposed to many of the features in the system. They also had concerns about patients becoming worried, as well as their own work environment. Many patients, however, use the system to understand their condition better, as a memory aid or to prepare for the next visit. In this seminar Åsa Cajander will present research from the DOME consortium that has followed the launch of the system since 2012.
