Disconnections & Dead Ends: Fixing Proxy Access for Older Adults in Patient Portals
Millions of older adults in the United States manage their health with the help of family and other unpaid care partners from across town and around the world. And yet, existing patient portal technology still feels like a game of whack-a-mole for patients aiming to assign proxy access to a trusted friend or family member.
Portal proxy access is when a care partner has shared access to a person’s online patient portal information.
In this webinar you’ll learn about a new initiative by OpenNotes and the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health aiming to help fix the gaps in health information technology for older adults. You will get a status update on a multi-site demonstration project serving older adults in Portland, OR, Rochester, NY, and Salt Lake City, UT. And, you will learn from a patient and physician/family care partner as they describe their lived experiences navigating proxy access.
