« In the rapidly evolving field of healthcare, patient rights have garnered significant attention in recent years. Patient empowerment, transparency in treatment and decision-making process, and respect for patient’s dignity are changing the dynamics of the healthcare field. Recent innovations of 2021 are increasingly focusing on the advancement of patient rights.
One such noteworthy innovation concerns digital health technologies. The use of telehealth, electronic health records, and mobile applications have enabled patients to engage with and manage their own health care more proactively. They allow better access to health information, increase the efficiency of care, and facilitate shared decision making. Patients can now access their medical records, request prescription refills, and schedule appointments using digital platforms.
Still, substantial efforts to improve patient rights are required regarding data protection, data sharing, and informed consent in a digital era.
