Patient access and engagement have been on my brain of late. Sure, that has a lot to do with the fact I attended both Health Datapalooza and the Health Privacy Summit last week in Washington, D.C.--but it's also due to a recent personal experience.

It took place a few weeks ago when I brought my child into the pediatrician for an on-again, off-again rash. After conversing with the doctor about the best plan of attack, I was told to take pictures the next time the rash appeared, to better help with diagnosis.
