“Health information technology offers great promise to patients. Patients can access their medical information online, communicate with doctors by email, schedule appointments through the web and take advantage of numerous tools to manage their own illnesses. They can become equal partners in their care.
But without further intervention from policy makers, many of these tools will remain unavailable to patients. Doctors may adopt electronic health records, but those health records will be just as inaccessible to patients as today.”
