A Log Analysis Exploring the Predictors of Electronic Health Record Access by Clinicians for Consumers Aged ≥65 Who Present to the Emergency Department.

Electronic health records are widely implemented, yet little is understood around adoption and use in the ED setting. Older patients (≥65) are a cohort likely to benefit from use. The primary outcome (MHR access) was explored using logistic regression of 9 independent variables. 28.33% of patients had their MHR accessed within 3 days of presenting. Access is more likely when patients arrive via urgent ambulance and/or are triaged as critical.
