From 2012 to 2024, U.S. non-federal acute care hospitals reported a gradual increase in patients\u2019 ability to access their health information and engage with hospital providers. By 2024, nearly all hospitals enabled patients to view and download their health information, view clinical notes, and securely message with a healthcare provider. By 2024, 85% of hospitals reported that patients could also electronically transmit (send) information in a structured format, but this number remains relatively flat since 2022. Since 2017, API-based app access to patient information has increased substantially, with 7 in 8 hospitals in 2024 reporting that their patients can engage with their health information in this way. Despite consistent growth over time, only a small majority (less than 2 in 3) of hospitals in 2024 enable patients to submit patient-generated health data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
