To gather data, Transcend Insights surveyed 2,597 American adults who had seen a physician within the past year. The online survey took place between Jan. 20 and Jan. 26, 2017.
Here are three other findings from the survey.
1. Among respondents, the biggest priorities for receiving personalized care were having access to their medical records (92 percent) and the ability for providers to easily share information about their medical history (93 percent).
2. Sixty-four percent of respondents claimed they use a digital device — such as a mobile app — to track their health. Another 71 percent said it would be useful for their provider to have information from these devices.
3. The majority — 72 percent — of respondents believe their physicians can easily share their medical history. “Unfortunately, due to ongoing setbacks in connecting the sprawling healthcare landscape, this type of open access to records is rare,” Transcend Insights claims.
