In “Access to Electronic Personal Health Records Among Patients With Multiple Chronic Conditions: A Secondary Data Analysis” (J Med Internet Res 2017;19(6):e188), the authors made the following updates.
The authors were notified of data errors in one of the Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS) cycle datasets (HINTS 4, Cycle 4); the errors were in the weights provided for use in the analysis of these data [
In rerunning analyses for Table 1, only one difference was found that resulted in a change in conclusion. Namely, the chi-squared analysis of “Confidence that PHI is safe” versus “Number of Chronic Conditions” was not significant in the updated analysis (
In section “Associations Between Patient Factors and Number of Chronic Conditions” in the
In general, having two or more chronic conditions was associated with being older, having health insurance, having a regular provider, being less confident in taking care of themselves, reporting fair to poor health, being less inclined to use the Internet or to use a mobile phone/tablet, and in feeling more confident that their PHI is safe and controllable (Table 1).
It has been corrected as follows:
In general, having two or more chronic conditions was associated with being older, having health insurance, having a regular provider, being less confident in taking care of themselves, reporting fair to poor health, and being less inclined to use the Internet or to use a mobile phone/tablet (Table 1).
The following text from the
Additionally, HINTS included items addressing concerns about safety and privacy of electronic health information, which revealed that those with MCC reported slightly higher frequencies of believing that they were “very confident” in having control of the privacy of their records and that their PHI was safe with their providers. This could provide one explanation for the increased use of ePHR among those with MCC.
In rerunning analyses for Table 2, only one difference was found that resulted in a change in conclusion. Namely, for “Confidence that PHI is safe,” a significant association was found for “Very Confident” (OR 2.00, 95% CI 1.21-3.31;
