Perspectives on access to imaging digital health records in oncology: A mixed methods systematic review.

Digital Health Records (DHR) have become essential for managing patient data, including radiology and nuclear medicine reports. The wider adoption of DHR globally presents an opportunity to improve patient engagement and empowerment through effective access and sharing of imaging investigations. This review aims to synthesize literature on views, experiences, expectations, and preferences of oncology patients and healthcare professionals (HCP) when accessing imaging via DHR.

Materials and methods

This review was conducted using recommended Cochrane Handbook databases (registration: CRD42021213808), focusing on English articles published from 2000 onwards. Three experienced reviewers critically appraised selected articles, thematic analysis and narrative synthesis
