The need for guidance and consistency in adolescent privacy policies: a survey of CMIOs.
Research examining whether and how adolescent patients should gain access to their electronic health records is gaining momentum. In this study, the investigators conducted a survey to explore diversity in adolescent privacy policies and identify common approaches in health information technology management for adolescent patients. Through descriptive analyses of survey data, they found a wide range of institutional policies regarding adolescent patient privacy, and large variations in health IT executives' baseline knowledge of access policies.

Variability in adolescent portal privacy features: how the unique privacy needs of the adolescent patient create a complex decision-making process.
Medical privacy policies, which are clear-cut for adults and young children, become ambiguous during adolescence. Yet medical organizations must establish unambiguous rules about patient and parental access to electronic patient portals. In this paper, the investigators conducted a national interview study to characterize the diversity in adolescent portal policies across a range of institutions and determine the factors influencing decisions about these policies.
