Characterizing the utilization of the problem list for pediatric trauma care.
The EHR problem list has the potential to support care coordination among the multidisciplinary care team that cares for pediatric trauma patients. To realize this potential, the need exists to ensure appropriate utilization by formulating acceptable usage and management policy. In this regard, understanding the prevailing utilization pattern is pivotal. To this end, in this study, the investigators analyzed EHR in tandem with trauma registry data at a Level I pediatric trauma center.

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.

Continuity index measures in the acute care hospital setting: an analytic review and tests using electronic health record data and computer simulation.
This study examined continuity index measures in the acute care hospital setting. These measures can be used to examine the influence of nurse staffing patterns on patient outcomes. The researchers examined the behavior of continuity indexes as applied to clinical practice data that were collected with the Hands-On Automated Nursing Data System (HANDS) and data from computer simulation. The findings provided a deep understanding of the conceptual foundations and properties of various continuity measures.

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.
