Proxy Access- allows patients to give others access to their EHR and e-messaging, on their behalf. Proxy access is common among Pedi areas. Pediatric Proxy access provides parents and minor children joint access to the child's EHR and e-messaging capabilities. This is potential to engage the child more effectively in self-care of chronic diseases, such as asthma and obesity. It also gives parents the convenience of (for example) printing their child's immunization record rather than having to make a trip to the doctor's office to get a copy. [1]
