Should Patients Be Able To Download and Store Copies of Their Personal Data?

Seventy percent of surveyed U.S. adults believe patients should be able to download and retain copies of personal health information, according to a new Markle Foundation survey.

Sixty-five percent of surveyed physicians also agree that patients should be able to download their health information, compared with 10% who are neutral and 15% who disagree.

The survey also found that 93% of the public rarely or never asks for copies of their personal health information or medical records in electronic format. Similarly, 92% of doctors report rarely or never receiving requests from patients for electronic versions of their medical information.

Results are based on online surveys of 779 U.S. physicians and 1,582 U.S. adults ages 18 and older conducted from Aug. 10 to Aug. 26, 2010.
