Providing hospital patients with access to their medical records.
The researchers conducted two experiments to better understand clinician and patient perceptions about giving patients access to their medical records during hospital encounters. They found that increased patient information sharing in the inpatient setting is beneficial and desirable to patients, and generally acceptable to clinicians.

Despite substantial progress in EHR adoption, health information exchange and patient engagement remain low in office settings.
The authors investigated the growth of EHR adoption. They found gaps in EHR adoption, with physicians in solo practices and non-primary care specialties lagging behind others; exchange with other providers was limited, with only 14 percent sharing data with providers outside their organization; and 24 percent routinely provided patients with the ability to view online, download, or transmit their health record.
