Health Data User Description
Attorneys and the Courts in the Judicial Process Needs the data to help with a case that a patient is bringing against the doctor who performed the services.
Employers Employers need the data to help determine benefits to offer employees that are injured out on disability.
Patients The data is needed to help patients understand their health problems and be able to take care of ongoing health issues. I have asthma so I use this data to help control my asthma triggers and no when I am in the red zone where I need to get to the ER because I am unable to get my asthma under control with my rescue meds.
Health Care Practitioners Physicians use the data to communicate with patients like discuss health problems or maybe an emergency surgery that has to be performed.
Educators and Trainers The data is used so that the teachers can use the information to teach students that are looking to join the Health Care field. For example the Virginia Commonwealth University is a teaching hospital so when a patient comes into the ER for an illness you will sometimes have a student ask if they could sit in, and it is up to the patient if they will like the student to participate or not.
Media Reporters Use the data to tell the world about health hazards, new medications and cures that are being discovered, or maybe even a disease
