AbstractA critical mass of Internet users is leading to a wide diffusion of electronic communications within medical practice. Unless implemented with substantial forethought, these new technological linkages could disturb delicate balances in the doctor-patient relationship, threaten the privacy of medical information, widen social disparity in health outcomes, and even function as barriers to access. The American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) recently published recommendations to guide computer-based communications between clinicians and patients. This paper describes the motivations for and the design of HealthConnect, a web-based patient-doctor communications tool currently in use at Children's Hospital, Boston. Structural and process-oriented features of HealthConnect, as they relate to promotion of adherence with the Guidelines, are discussed.
