“…Parents/patients tended to view them as a personal document for their own reference, whereas physicians tended to view records as a communication and management tool. 62 In any case, it is probably safe to view parent-held records as we would any other form of written information and assume that it is best to highlight critical points via individualized verbal instruction and supportive counseling.…”

ABSTRACT. Purpose. Pediatricians are encouraged by the American Academy of Pediatrics and Bright Futures guidelines to use well-child care as an opportunity to promote learning and development, encourage positive parenting practices, help children acquire behavioral self-control, and enhance the well-being of children and their families. Such counseling can consume considerable provider time. In an era of dwindling resources for health care, there is pressure to deliver services as efficiently and effectively as possible. Thus, the purpose of this article is to view methods for patient and parent education that are not only effective but also brief.Design. Review of 114 articles on issues relevant to patient education.Results and Conclusions. Parents appear to respond best to information that focuses on their specific area of concern. Media, such as advertising campaigns or office posters, can be helpful for broadening parents' range of interests. In response, verbal suggestions are effective for conveying brief, concrete information when parents are not stressed. Written information should be added for addressing more complex issues. Modeling and roleplaying appear especially useful when confronted with problematic parenting or child behavior. These approaches, if selected wisely and applied well, offer families needed assistance that has proven effectiveness in improving children's and families' health and well-being.

“…Despite little involvement, most professionals thought a patient held record would be of benefit to patients. The fear that it would increase paperwork echoes the findings of Teng Liaw 15 but there was little anxiety that consultation times would be aVected. It is likely, but not proven, that better education of both patients and professionals of the potential value of the patient held record might extend and enhance its use.…”

Quality in Health Care

The patient held record is valued by some patients and professionals but has no significant impact on the quality of life of patients or NHS resource use. It has a positive impact on quality by helping patients feel more in control and prepare for meetings with healthcare staff. Patients who find it useful tend to be younger and have more professionals involved in their care. It is recommended that it should be made available to patients on request and used by them according to need.

“…It is noteworthy that the staff awareness was similar to that of South Australian general practitioners in a 1993 study. 19 While it might appear that awareness has not improved since 1993, local factors (eg, impending health smart card introduction) may affect this awareness considerably. The relatively poor patient awareness is concerning, especially with the recent media discussions related to the Access card.…”

An analytical, cross-sectional survey of 270 emergency department patients and 92 staff undertaken in three tertiary referral hospital emergency departments was completed to compare the perceptions of patients and staff regarding the use of health smart cards containing patient medical records. The study recorded data on a range of health smart card issues including awareness, privacy, confidentiality, security, advantages and disadvantages, and willingness to use. A significantly higher proportion of staff had heard of the card. The perceived disadvantages reported by patients and staff were, overall, significantly different, with the staff reporting more disadvantages. A significantly higher proportion of patients believed that they should choose what information is on the card and who should have access to the information. Patients were more conservative regarding what information should be included, but staff were more conservative regarding who should have access to the information. Significantly fewer staff believed that patients could reliably handle the cards. Overall, however, the cards were considered acceptable and useful, and
