Survey for Developing Educational Material for Sharing Patient Medical Information

What information do you need to decide whether health care providers may electronically share your medical information?

As described in our cover letter, doctors and hospitals can electronically share patient health information through HEALTHeLINK, a health information exchange. HEALTHeLINK stores your health information and makes it available to HEALTHeLINK members (health care providers who are treating you) when they ask for it.


We are surveying 2,800 New York residents. Our survey asks about the information you need before deciding whether to allow your physicians to share your medical information through a health information exchange like HEALTHeLINK.


Your feedback is important. Please return this voluntary and anonymous survey in the stamped return envelope by XXXX DATE.
