Does myNYP.org put too much control in patients’ hands? Is there a risk of patients omitting or changing critical information?
MyNYP.org was designed with the patient benefit in mind. By consolidating and sharing critical health information, patients can create more efficient, personalized health care management. Because patients themselves decide what information to load and share on myNYP.org, physicians should still ask critical questions about a patient’s medical history, especially if these answers will affect a patient’s immediate care. MyNYP.org should enhance—not take the place of—a robust patient-physician dialogue.
