Self-Care Communication during Medical Encounters: Implications for Future Electronic Medical Records

2007 - Volume 4
by Nedal H. Arar, MA, MS, PhD; Chen-Pin Wang, PhD; and Jacqueline A. Pugh, MD

Abstract

Objective: The growing importance of electronic medical records (EMRs) to healthcare systems is evident, yet the debate concerning their impact on patient-provider communication during encounters remains unresolved. For this study, we hypothesize that providers’ use of the EMR will improve patient-provider communication concerning self-care during the medical encounter.
