Summary
As part of the 21st Century Cures Act (April 2021), electronic health information (EHI) must be immediately released to patients in the USA. This study in the American Journal of Surgery sought to evaluate clinician and patient perceptions regarding this immediate release of results and reports. Interviews with patients and clinicians found differences in perceived patient distress and comprehension, emphasising the impersonal nature of electronic release and necessity for therapeutic clinician-patient communication.
