Consumer Health Information Issues
• Understanding on-line health information
• Access to personal health records
• Regulatory requirements are coming
• Commercial sites for giving patients access to their data
• What will happen to the patient?
• What will happen to the patient-provider relationship?
The Patient Clinical Information System (PatCIS)
• New York Presbyterian Hospital clinical data repository
• Web-based Clinical Information System (WebCIS)
• National Information Infrastructure contract from NLM:– give patients WebCIS– see what happens
• Pilot study conducted

Discussion• Architecture supports integration, security and tracking
• Enrollment was disappointing
• Population was highly selected: by MD, by self, by Web
• Usability:– majority used it successfully– log-on difficulties overcome– three patterns: initial, monthly, daily– laboratories are the most popular
• Understandability:– educational resources and infobuttons not utilised
• Patient/clinician relations:– improved relationships– made interactions more efficient and effective
Conclusion
• Secure, usable Web-based access by patients possible
• Patients find it usable and useful
• Patient/clinician relations are improved
• Enthusiasm is not universal
• Extension to other demographic groups untested
