Kathleen Finlay interviewed in the Winnipeg Free Press on the high cost of accessing patient medical records.
It’s yet another example of high fees getting between patients and their medical records. (See related story) An informed patient is a safer patient. Charges that make access to hospital charts unaffordable are a barrier to the kind of patient and family involvement that is essential in achieving positive healthcare outcomes. Once again, The Center for Patient Protection calls on governments everywhere to eliminate fees and photocopying charges for accessing medical records. Patients and families should be encouraged to provide feedback on their care because it is an indispensible learning tool for 21st century healthcare professionals.
