BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — New Yorkers are being invited to weigh in on the design of a website that will let them access their medical records online.
The New York eHealth Collaborative is working with the state Health Department in the shift toward electronic health records. From Saturday through April 23rd, the organization is asking people to vote on one of several “Patient Portal” designs at www.patientportalfornewyorkers.org/.
Designers of the prototypes with the strongest showing will be invited to present their designs at public presentations in New York City and Buffalo.
The Patient Portal will give patients full access to their health records online, and allow them to grant access to providers to view them.
The not-for-profit New York eHealth Collaborative is coordinating the creation of a statewide health information network.
