Patients have found the government’s personal health record project HealthSpace neither useful nor easy to use and only a tiny percentage have so far signed up for it, according to a study published today.
Researchers led by Prof. Trish Greenhalgh from Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry reported that just 0.13% of those offered the chance to open an advanced HealthSpace account had done so and that the functionality was poorly aligned with patient expectations.
The study said patients were disappointed with the amount and type of data available, the need to enter data themselves and the limited options for sharing this data with their clinician.
