The document discusses patient access to medical records and the effects of increased access. It finds that there are different drivers for increased access, and a lack of clear evidence on how access affects outcomes. It also discusses how healthcare is changing with new information technologies and relationships between patients and providers. Some issues that need further focus are ensuring public and private health, quality healthcare, professional cultures, privacy, addressing inequalities, and the roles of alternative providers and the private sector.
