Electronic health records (EHRs) now generally offer patients immediate access to a broad swath of health information and data they are often not fully prepared to interpret or review. This commentary on a case considers risks and benefits of open access to EHRs and strategies for mitigating patient anxiety caused by immediate access, including improving patient understanding of data, tools to promote health literacy, and customizable EHR information access options.
