Patients have a crucial role in the effective use of EHRs:
Access to Personal Health Information: EHRs often provide patient portals where individuals can access their health records, test results, and treatment plans. Active Participation: Patients can actively participate in their care by updating personal information, reporting symptoms, and communicating with healthcare providers through EHR systems. Informed Decision-Making: Access to comprehensive health information empowers patients to make informed decisions about their treatment options.
