Engaging Family Caregivers through Shared Access to the Electronic Health Record ($1,476,784 for 3 years)
This project implements a demonstration in three health systems to increase the uptake and use of shared electronic health record access by family caregivers of older adults, evaluate its effects, and disseminate best practices to promote national adoption. Because millions of older adults manage their health with the help of family caregivers, it is imperative they have shared access to the electronic health record. This work builds on a planning grant with researchers at Johns Hopkins University and leaders of the OpenNotes movement at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
