“While many have taken the stance of not prioritizing IAS, “no” was not an option for the team at Unblock Health. It was exhilarating to facilitate some of the first IAS transactions on TEFCA. This is a pivotal moment to make our mission a reality and enable patients to access and control their data,” said Grace Cordovano, PhD, BCPA, Co-founder of Unblock Health. “Through the power of the Health Gorilla and Unblock Health partnership, our users can securely validate their identity, query participants in the new TEFCA framework, and combine and store their health records from different institutions. https://lnkd.in/e3qYrjZn #TEFCA #IAS #MedicalRecords #PatientAccess #Interoperability #PtExp #ViVE2024

Since the offical launch of TEFCA at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) event on December 12, 2023, we are hearing many patients, carepartners, caregivers, and patient advocates saying: 👉 What does IAS really mean for patients? 👉 What's the big deal about IAS? 👉 Who cares?! We all should care, especially if you are a patient, carepartner, caregiver, patient advocate, or patient navigator. Here's 4 reasons why: https://lnkd.in/e5a4dCkP #Interoperability #PatientAccess #EHI #TEFCA #IAS #PtExp #MedicalRecords Grace Cordovano, PhD, BCPA Shahid Shah Steven Lane, MD, MPH Mariann Yeager Bren Shipley Shannah Koss Lauren Riplinger Amy Mosser Michael Hodgkins MD, MPH Micky Tripathi Jesse Ehrenfeld MD MPH Tom Leary, MA, CAE, FHIMSS Christina Caraballo Anna McCollister Deb Gordon Dena Feingold, BCPA Shamekka Marty PMP, CSM Ryan Howells Kristen Valdes Deven McGraw Lucia Savage Dave deBronkart

Kudos to Liz Salmi and Elise Carey for this excellent publication on Tips for Helping Patients Navigate Immediately-Available Test Results The co-authors share the following six easy to follow tips: 1) Prepare your patients for the fact that their test results will be available electronically, possibly before their medical team completes their review. 2) Contextualize why you are ordering the studies or tests. 3) Empower patients to choose whether to review their results independently or wait to hear from the health care team. 4) If patients do want to review their results before talking with their health care team, help the patient identify reliable patient-facing resources so they feel safe and confident with the medical information they have at hand. 5) Encourage patients to contact their medical team. 6) Advise patients and families about steps that are either not helpful or that may exacerbate confusion, misinformation, or upset. https://lnkd.in/dXHdCcFE #PatientAccess #EHR #MedicalRecords #InformationSharing #PtExp

“The workforce shortage makes it even harder for us to deliver care at scale, so we need something like self-service options. We need to have that relationship with patients. We have an overarching thesis that we need to innovate at the ends of the value chain — we need to bring ourselves closer to our consumers,” she declared." We agree: supporting patients, their carepartners, caregivers, and advocates with self-service options is essential to reducing patient administrative burden, building relationships, and helping individuals do the work they need to do to get the care they need where they are. https://lnkd.in/eDeWgMiS #UnblockHealth #PtExp #EHI #MedicalRecords #CareCoordination #Healthcare
