MyChart App Sparks Debate on Patient Access vs. Compassionate Care
Description
Newfoundland and Labrador doctors raise concerns over MyChart app, part of the CorCare system, which allows patients to access medical results before doctors can review them. The Medical Association pushes for a 24-48 hour delay to deliver difficult news in a more compassionate setting. Health Services maintains patient access benefits outweigh risks, but the Medical Association argues it goes against human nature to tell patients not to check their results.
