Improving Medical Record Access Key to Unlocking Power of Data

The healthcare industry is facing immense pressure to provide patients with seamless and compliant access to their medical records. Despite recent regulations that discourage information blocking and promote interoperability for secure access, the medical records retrieval process remains confusing and difficult. This affects both patients and healthcare providers, who need a comprehensive understanding of the patient’s record and context. Even in clinical trials, researchers are facing obstacles when trying to access patient medical records in a timely and compliant manner. This challenge begins with provider organizations and affects not only patient care but academic and clinical research, where patient data is crucial for advancing knowledge. Access barriers to data hinder progress and discovery in the medical field.
