Emergency room providers' perceptions of MyChart's My Emergency Data: findings from a focus group study.

My Emergency Data (MED), a one-page clinical abstract, has been implemented as the first phase of a health information exchange (HIE) project across three healthcare systems. This study presents findings from one of a series of focus groups of emergency room (ER) providers' perceptions of MED. Barriers to using MED in the ER are identified and recommendations for improved utilization are provided.
