Abstract

Patient access to health records is increasingly recognized as a fundamental right to empower individuals and improve healthcare continuity. A comprehensive assessment tool was developed to evaluate dimensions of jurisdictional capacity, the extent of patient access, and international comparisons. We identified 10 key requirements for facilitating patient access to their health records. This study presents a framework for evaluating and enhancing patient access, though there remains a need to include patient experiences for a fuller picture in future research.
