TECH CHALLENGES FOR FAMILY CAREGIVERS  Very few tools are designed specifically for family caregivers and their information needs  Availability of these tools does not guarantee access to information  Finding time to incorporate new technology into daily routines is often prohibitive, along with the applicability of technology to real-life caregiving scenarios  Uncoordinated technology (e.g. multiple patient portals) may simply create more silos  The language of healthcare is not the language of the average American  Not all caregiving challenges can be solved with technology 2014 © CONNECTED HEALTH RESOURCES 12

DATA BARRIERS  Electronic access to personal health data is spotty. Blue Button is still in its infancy. It is difficult to obtain medical records.  Information on the web is not curated and written at a high literacy level. It becomes a mine field for caregivers to find, sift through, and comprehend medical information.  Patient (and Caregiver) Generated Health Data is not widely accepted and no framework exists for receipt/review/response of PGHD by providers 2014 © CONNECTED HEALTH RESOURCES 13

BLUE BUTTON?  Lead by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC)  A way you can access your health records electronically so you can:  Share them with your doctor or trusted family members or caregivers  Check to make sure the information, such as your medication list, is accurate and complete  Plug your health information into apps and tools that help you set and reach personalized health goals  Healthcare providers or health insurance companies may offer you the ability to view online, download, and share your health records via Blue Button – but not everyone participates yet  More info: blue-buttonhttp:// blue-button 2014 © CONNECTED HEALTH RESOURCES 14
