ABSTRACT
Background:
The Electronic Health Record Sharing System (eHRSS) was implemented as a new healthcare delivery platform in Hong Kong.
Objective:
We investigated the perception of and factors associated with the registration of eHRSS among different audiences.
Methods:
Telephone-based interviews were conducted among enrolled patients and non-enrolled residents. Descriptive analysis was performed, and the outcome variables were expressed as proportions. Two binary logistic regression models were constructed for physicians and patients, respectively.
Results:
It showed that patients were more likely to register when they reported “other service providers could view the medical records” (AOR=6.09, 95% CI=4.87-7.63, p<0.01) and “friends/family recommendation/assistance in registration” (AOR=3.51, 95% CI=2.04-6.03, p<0.01). Physicians were more likely to register when they believed eHRSS could improve the quality of healthcare service (AOR=4.70, 95% CI=1.77-12.51, p<0.01); and were aware that eHRSS could reduce duplicated tests and treatments (AOR=4.16, 95% CI=1.73-9.97, p<0.01).
Conclusions:
The result can be increasing the possibility of viewing their personal medical record and highlighting the benefits of the system for physicians could be effective to enhance the registration of eHRSS.
