The urban underserved
BACKGROUND: As the use of electronic medical records (EMRs) spreads, health-care organizations are increasingly offering patients online access to their medical records. Studies evaluating patient attitudes towards viewing elements of their records through secure, electronic patient portals have generally not included medically underserved patients or those with HIV/AIDS. The goal of this study was to gain insight into such patients' attitudes to…
Listening and Breaking Down the Walls
At a time when walls seem to be rising higher inexorably between patients and clinicians, two strategies may stimulate change and lead to health care systems very different from those currently in place.

As part of a multicenter evaluation of ambulatory care at four university hospitals, 1,040 patient care encounters were reviewed for 16 primary-care and 41 traditional medicine residents. Using a chart-based audit, the authors examined 16 discrete items of patient care…
