What Role Do Patients Play in the Integration Process?
Patients play a critical role in the integration process. They should be encouraged to:
- Maintain Personal Health Records: Keeping a personal record of their medical history complements the information in EHRs. - Provide Informed Consent: Patients must understand and consent to how their data will be used and shared. - Engage with Digital Health Tools: Utilizing patient portals and mobile health apps can enhance their involvement in the management of their care.
