Given the stakes involved, some patients have begun turning to interoperable personal solutions. Major retailers like Walgreens.com and drugstore.com now carry products like MyMedicalRecords that allow patients to store their family’s personal health records in one secure account that any doctor or hospital around the world can access instantly in a medical emergency

With 54% of all patient records in America controlled by the same EMR system company at the heart of the Dallas Ebola crisis controversy, and with interoperability still a decade away, the trend of patient’s taking control of their personal health records is likely to increase. Indeed, hospitals are now required by law to offer patients copies of their electronic media records—something patient advocates strongly recommend.
