Usage of electronic health record (eHR) viewer among healthcare professionals (HCProfs): A territory-wide study of 3972 participants.

Background: The Electronic Health Record Sharing System (eHRSS) is an electronic platform for two-way communication between the public and private sectors in Hong Kong. The authorised healthcare professionals (HCProfs) could access and upload patients' health records on the eHR Viewer in the eHRSS. This study aims to evaluate the usage of eHR viewer among the HCProfs from the private sector by 1) examining the correlation of various factors and the data access of eHR viewer; 2) investigating the trend on data access and upload to eHR viewer by time period and domain.

Associations between adoption of eHealth management module and optimal control of HbA1c in diabetes patients.

In January 2021, the eHealth App was launched in Hong Kong by the Hong Kong government to support the Electronic Health Record Sharing System (eHRSS). A Health Management Module in the eHealth App introduced new functions to record blood pressure, blood sugar, and heart rate, and downloading and sharing records. This study aims to compare the level of glycaemic control between users of the eHealth App and non-users.

Factors Associated With the Acceptance of an eHealth App for Electronic Health Record Sharing System: Population-Based Study.

Background: In the second stage of the Electronic Health Record Sharing System (eHRSS) development, a mobile app (eHealth app) was launched to further enhance collaborative care among the public sector, the private sector, the community, and the caregivers.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the factors associated with the downloading and utilization of the app, as well as the awareness, perception, and future improvement of the app.

Methods: We collected 2110 surveys; respondents were stratified into 3 groups according to their status of enrollment in the eHRSS.

The Perceptions of and Factors Associated With the Adoption of the Electronic Health Record Sharing System Among Patients and Physicians: Cross-Sectional Survey.

Background: The electronic health record sharing system (eHRSS) was implemented as a new health care delivery platform to facilitate two-way communication between the public and private sectors in Hong Kong.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the perceptions of and factors associated with the adoption of eHRSS among patients, the general public, and private physicians.

Methods: Telephone interviews were conducted in 2018 by using a simple random sampling strategy from a list of patients who had enrolled in the eHRSS and a territory-wide telephone directory for nonenrolled residents.

Adoption of an Electronic Patient Record Sharing Pilot Project: Cross-Sectional Survey.

Background: The Public Private Interface-Electronic Patient Record (PPI-ePR) system was implemented as a new electronic platform to facilitate collaboration between the public and private sectors in Hong Kong. However, its barriers to participate and benefits have not been comprehensively assessed.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the awareness, acceptance, perceived benefits, and obstacles to participation among private doctors and the general public.

Effect of severe acute respiratory syndrome on bystander willingness to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)--is compression-only preferred to standard CPR?

Objective: The effect of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak on the willingness of laypersons to provide bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) using standard CPR (SCPR) or compression-only CPR (CCPR) was evaluated. The preferred type of SCPR in the post-SARS era was assessed.

Methods: A descriptive study was conducted through telephone interviews.

Principles-based medical informatics for success--how Hong Kong built one of the world's largest integrated longitudinal electronic patient records.

Since 1994, the Hospital Authority has been developing and deploying clinical applications at its constituent 41 hospitals and 121 clinics. The Clinical Management System (CMS) is now used by over 4000 doctors and 20000 other clinicians on a daily basis to order, document and review care. The territory-wide Electronic Patient Record (ePR) has given clinicians an integrated, longitudinal, lifelong view of a patient's record.
