Right now there is confusion over who should be able to access patient records. In response, the National Institutes of Health issued guidelines in January 2016 that provide details over a patient’s rights to access personal health information with the intent of empowering patient well-being. 
It’s not always simple to access medical records, and the problem escalates if a patient with a complex medical history is in an emergency situation without access to their basic information. 
Data liquidity – or patient data moving through the healthcare system securely – isn’t an issue that only affects patients, it can impact healthcare entrepreneurs as well. 
The central question is ownership. Does medical information belong to a patient, a doctor or the medical institution?
