eHealth engagement as a response to negative healthcare experiences: cross-sectional survey analysis.
The goal of this study was to determine how the negative healthcare experiences of low patient centeredness and care coordination problems motivate the use of different eHealth activities, and whether more highly educated individuals are more likely than those less highly educated to use eHealth following negative experiences. Researchers used factor analysis to group 25 different eHealth activities into categories, based on the correlation between respondents' reports of their usage. Their findings indicate that individuals use a greater number of eHealth activities, especially activities independent of healthcare providers, when they experience problems with their healthcare; people with lower levels of education who have had negative healthcare experiences seem more inclined to use eHealth. The researchers recommend that, in order to maximize the potential for eHealth to meet the needs of all patients, especially those who are underserved, additional work is needed to ensure that eHealth resources are accessible to all members of the population.

Accuracy of the medication list in the electronic health record-implications for care, research, and improvement.
Electronic medication lists may be useful in clinical decision support and research, but their accuracy is not well described. The aim of this study was to assess the completeness of the medication list compared to the clinical narrative in the electronic health record. The study found that there was a range in the accuracy of the medication list compared to the clinical narrative.

Methods for patient-centered interface design of test result display in online portals.
However, current patient portals are not designed in a patient-centered way and little is known on how best to harness patients' information needs to inform user-centered interface design of portals. The researchers designed a patient-facing laboratory test result interface prototype based on requirement elicitation research and used a mixed-methods approach to evaluate this interface.

The alarming rate of major disruptive events in primary care practices in Oklahoma.
This study documented the rates of major disruptive events in a cohort of primary care practices in Oklahoma. During the first year of the project, 89 major disruptive events occurred in 67 (32 percent) practices, with 20 practices experiencing multiple events. The major disruptive events reported most often during both periods were loss of personnel and implementation of electronic health records and billing systems.
