Keynote Speaker: Christiane Grünloh Title: “My Work Tool” versus “My Body, My Data”: Conflicting stakeholder perspectives on digital data access
Abstract: The importance of encouraging patient participation is not new, neither is the fact that patients have the right by law to view their health records. Similar to other digitalisation processes in the last decades, it may seem natural to also enable patient to digitally access their electronic health records, for instance, via patient portals. Despite being welcomed by patients, this type of digital access and especially the extend of the information shown has been often criticised by concerned healthcare professionals. In this keynote I will present the case of the eHealth service Journalen in Sweden and outline some of the conflicting perspectives and values that accompany patient accessible health records. |
