Eighty-one percent of adults support expanding access to health information for patients and providers, according to a survey by Pew Charitable Trusts. More than two-thirds want their clinicians to share data on advanced care plans or end-of-life preferences, images (such as X-rays), and family medical histories.

Seventy-four percent support setting national standards to improve patient matching.
