Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health: Connecting care partners to the health care team through health information technology
Families, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, friends and neighbours are part of health care too. "No man is an Island unto himself" and outdated monopolistic medical stewardship of personal health data is inefficient and unsafe, rightly heing replaced by a societal, technical collaborative stewardship of personal health data.

Featuring the Lipitz Center and OpenNotes Issue Brief
The Coalition for Care Partners: Connecting Care Partners to the Care Team Through Health Information Technology
<https://t.e2ma.net/click/rdo1gf/j3mvwgrb/jr5lsm>
Millions of Americans manage their health with the involvement of family, friends, caregivers, and other care partners, who are too often not well integrated with the "formal" care delivery system of health professionals.
Engaging with care partners has a profound effect on quality of care and health care utilization, but is not well supported in care delivery.
This *new issue brief <https://t.e2ma.net/click/rdo1gf/j3mvwgrb/zj6lsm>* highlights original research led by OpenNotes <https://t.e2ma.net/click/rdo1gf/j3mvwgrb/fc7lsm> and the Roger C. Lipitz Center for Integrated Health Care <https://t.e2ma.net/click/rdo1gf/j3mvwgrb/v47lsm> at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, which features the existing patient
portal functionalities and the developing, testing, and scaling of new consumer-oriented technologies to effectively engage care partners in care.
