BMJ's Patient Partnership

“In 2014 the BMJ (British Medical Journal) initiated a Patient Advisory Panel, which interacts regularly with the editors. Further, the panel is part of a larger patient-public partnership, which includes the remarkable requirement that the authors of research articles must state how they involved patients in the design & conduct of the study!

  1. GDPR is a major motivation in the EU to empower individuals. See the HL7 Security workgroup evaluation of FHIR - GDPR

  2. Has anyone looked into "OneRecord" – onerecord.com ??? I got a response that they have a FHIR based PHR that is fully in the patient's hands. The web-site is not all that transparent.
