Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how Electronic Health Record (EHR) vendors influence the sharing of clinical care summaries between hospitals, highlighting barriers to information exchange.
- It finds that hospitals are significantly more likely to share clinical data with others in their region if those hospitals use the same EHR vendor, indicating vendor control over information flow.
- State policies aimed at promoting information exchange appear ineffective, as the control of EHR vendors outweighs attempts to incentivize interoperability.
