A new study, conducted by a research team at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, MA determined how patients feel about converting their records to EMR.
In this new technological era where Facebook and Twitter are dominant, physicians should rest assured that their patients will be (according to the study) very receptive to EMR technology. The study's lead author, Jan Walker, said patients not only want computers to bring them customized medical information, but fully expect to be able to rely on electronic technology in the future for many routine medical issues. The study found that patients want full access to all of their EMR, are willing to make some privacy concessions in the interest of making them transparent and fully expect that computers will play a major role in their medical care.
