title: Physicians' attitudes regarding patient access to electronic medical records.
abstract: Prior to the implementation of Electronic Medical Record (EMR) web access for patients at a large integrated delivery systems, we surveyed physicians? attitudes. Our web based questionnaire revealed largely positive attitudes about access. The exceptions included abnormal reports, progress notes, and e-care. A factor analysis identified the group of physicians who didn?t view patients as partners felt most negative about the process.
