It may be worth remembering that the WHO Patient Safety Charter contains two patient rights related to information:
Right 7: The right to information, education, and shared decision making.
Right 8: The patient's right to access their medical records.
The right to education will be facilitated by patient access to the data and information in their medical records, and, as we move on, critical thinking to aid shared decision making dupplied by approved AI.
