Ease of use of electronic health records and relational coordination among primary care team members

Conclusion: Ease of EHR use is associated with better RC among primary care team members, and the benefits accrue more to non-PCPs than to PCPs. Practice Implications: Ensuring that clinicians and staff experience EHRs as easy to use for accessing and integrating data and for communication may produce gains in efficiency and outcomes through high RC. Future studies should examine whether interventions to improve EHR usability can lead to improved RC and patient outcomes.
