Emergency physicians' views of direct notification of laboratory and radiology results to patients using the Internet: a multisite survey.
The authors explored emergency physicians' current practices of test result notification and attitudes to direct patient notification of clinically significant abnormal and normal test results. They found that more than half of the emergency physicians were uncomfortable with patients receiving direct notification of normal or abnormal test results. Main concerns were that patients could be anxious, confused, and lacking in the necessary expertise to interpret their results.

Do provider attitudes about electronic health records predict future electronic health record use?
The authors studied whether comfort with technology and more positive attitudes about EHRs affect use of EHR functions once they are adopted. They found that comfort with computers and attitudes about EHRs did not predict future use of the EHR functions, suggesting that meaningful use of the EHR may not be affected by providers' prior attitudes about EHRs.

Increasing pediatrician participation in EHR incentive programs.
The authors addressed potential causes of the variability of pediatrician registration in the meaningful use (MU) program and suggested specific solutions to support effective pediatric electronic health record implementation across all states. They concluded that implementing their proposed solutions would support pediatricians’ use of electronic health records, with an ultimate goal of improving child health.
