Rise of the Patient Advocate: Healthcare In the Digital Age

A revolution in patient advocacy is emerging as you now have the ability to view and amend what is documented in your medical records. Rise of the Patient Advocate â€“ Healthcare in the Digital Age is a guidebook designed to help you navigate your patient portal and engage with your doctorâ€™s electronic health record. Drs. Michael and Margaret Warner use stories to exemplify why you should review your record before and after every medical encounter. They also support the use of a Universal Pre-History, which allows you to â€œco-authorâ€ the History section of your health record.
Drs. Warner recognize newfound rights that were buried in federal laws from the 1990â€™s, now emerging with the advent of electronic health records. The book guides you in exercising these rights so that you can be your own patient advocate.
With a view to satisfaction, quality and cost, Warnerâ€™s offer practical solutions to the inefficiencies in our present healthcare system. The heart of the message supports a strong patient-provider relationship with patients actively participating in decision-making.
This book is a must read for everyone who seeks to be heard and understood by the healthcare system.
