Information sharing via electronic health records in team-based care: the patient perspective

ConclusionsThe participants of our focus groups value team-based care and view patients as a critical part of those teams. With respect to electronic health records, our participants recognized their importance but had concerns about inaccuracies and limited options to correct errors in their records. In general, participants were willing to share basic information but disagreed about what information should be considered to be basic. Moreover, based on their trust and comfort level, many participants want to control what information is recorded and shared in the electronic health record.
