“It’s always best to discuss results with a health-care provider as part of the usual follow-up care that would come following a test or examination. Your health-care provider should also contact you if any follow-up care is needed.”The New Brunswick Medical Society said this is a win-win for both patients and providers.
Though the society never advocated for the change specifically, past-NBMS president Dr. Mark MacMillan said any ability given to patients to access their own health information is a good thing. He said it also comes with a bit of caution though. MacMillan explains some patients may not be able to understand the results.“A lot of patients just want to have the results available to them,” he said. “A lot of patients are more active in their health care now than they have been in the past and they want to have all their records available.”
