Patient-centered care, collaboration, communication, and coordination: a report from AMIA's 2013 Policy Meeting.
AMIA’s 2013 Health Policy Invitational was focused on examining existing challenges surrounding full engagement of the patient and crafting a research agenda and policy framework encouraging the use of informatics solutions to achieve this goal. This paper summarizes the meeting as well as the research agenda and policy recommendations prioritized among the invited experts and stakeholders.

The role of health information technology in care coordination in the United States.
This study used 2012 national data to explore the extent to which office-based physicians in the United States receive patient health information (electronically or non-electronically) needed to coordinate care with providers outside their practice, as well as with hospitals. It found that a higher percentage of physicians using health information technology (HIT) received patient information necessary for care coordination than those who did not use HIT.

Lost in transition: discrepancies in how physicians perceive the actionability of the results of tests pending at discharge.
Effective communication of pending hospital test results between inpatient and primary care physicians is sometimes challenging or nonexistent. This communication is essential for safe, quality transactions at discharge. Health information technology (such as email and fax) is an effective strategy for improving and reporting test-result management.

Opportunities in interdisciplinary care team adoption of electronic point-of-care documentation systems.
The authors conducted three evaluation studies in community and hospital settings to examine point-of-care documentation system adoption among interdisciplinary care team clinicians. At all sites, mismatch between system functionality and workflow was a barrier to clinician system access during patient care and reduced clinician efficiency; however, clinicians were satisfied with their ability to access other clinicians’ notes, without increased interdisciplinary team communication.
