Patient commenting via the electronic record
Upon starting this group, I asked members if they had any thoughts on the concept of offering patient commenting facility through electronic health records to contribute to a short study.
Start a discussion or share something with the group...
I am interested in getting a view on what level of access mental health service users should have. many service users want full access, including the narrative and some would like to be able to edit the narrative or make corrections.

Patient want online access to services
I think the idea of patient access to their records has to be part of the future of the future patient-centred health services. But I'm also convinced that it is the ability to do things - order prescription refills, view test results, book appointments or email their GP - that is what patients most want.

Please introduce yourselves
My name is Lyn Whitfield and I'm managing editor of eHealth Insider. I've just set up this group for debate about the idea of patient access to records, the technology that exists - or should exist - for giving people access to records, and the problems that access might solve for both the NHS and users.
