New Awareness Study

[By Staff Writers]

Kaiser Permanente, through independent market research company StrategyOne, conducted a nationwide survey between May 8-11, 2008 to gauge the awareness and perceptions of electronic health records.

Survey Findings:

  • 38 percent have used their insurance company’s online tools to learn more about their care, up from 29 percent in 2007.
  • 47 percent had a preference for doctors who use EHRs and 61 percent had a preference for insurance companies who employed EHRs.
  • 51 percent agreed that health IT should be a top priority for the next president to ensure that all Americans have access to their own personal medical records [PMRs] electronically.

Assessment

Americans continue to have concerns about privacy issues. Assurance is required, from all who store personal medical data, that patient information is secure.
