Abstract

BACKGROUND: Electronic health records (EHRs) are widely used in health care systems across the United States to help clinicians access patient medical histories in one central location. As medical knowledge expands, clinicians are increasingly using evidence-based point-of-care information (POCI) resources to facilitate clinical decision-making in medical practices. While these tools can improve clinical outcomes, few studies have assessed clinicians' opinions on integrating them with EHRs.
