How can personal health information become a trusted and useful pathway for patient self-advocacy and better patient-provider partnerships? Our panel of patients and care partners--data experts in their own right, will discuss everything from the ?Groundhog Day? of repeated form filling, to data access, misinformation, sharing between specialties and caregivers, privacy (will I be outed for my abortion? Is my gender identity safe? Who knows about my medical bills?) and the value (or harm?) of seeing test results ahead of a medical appointment. Learn from the workarounds you'll never read about in a textbook and consider the great potential for and concerns about AI in patient notes. Let?s talk about what can be accomplished now through a participatory approach. Make this session the shortcut to a better relationship between your patients, your data and your clinicians.
