Push for More Patient Control of Health Records SPOKANE (KPLU) - Who owns your medical file? Hospitals and doctors' offices are traditionally the keepers of personal medical records in the US. But now there's a movement to give people more access to their own medical information. Washington and Oregon are each developing what are known as online "health record banks." Those allow people to create and maintain their own medical files. KPLU's Doug Nadvornick reports on one such project underway in Spokane.
