Acceptability, benefits and barriers of electronic health record radiology image sharing: A mixed-method study.
Article in Journal of medical radiation sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionThe electronic Health Record Sharing System (eHRSS) bridges public and private healthcare providers to efficiently share and access patient medical records. This study examined the acceptability, benefits and barriers of electronic Health Record (eHR) radiology image sharing as perceived by patients and physicians. This study found radiology image sharing can help improve the management and performance of medical services, but information asymmetry and insufficient publicity still affect the development of information sharing.
methodsPhysicians who were potential adopters of radiology image sharing system in Hong Kong were recruited for the quantitative study. In-depth interviews were conducted to examine acceptability, perceived benefits, barriers and potential areas for improvement of radiology image sharing system among physicians and patients. Other descriptive data collected included age, gender, clinical experience and practice type. Correlation between predictors, acceptability and perceived benefits were examined using linear and logistic regression analyses.
resultsA total of 288 surveys and 10 interviews were included. High level of user satisfaction (78.5%) with raised patient healthcare experience (82.3%) towards radiology image sharing system was observed. It was seen as highly capable to overcome limitations from using the films and traditional logistics (87.2%). System quality was a significant factor associated with acceptability (aOR = 4.307, 95% CI: 1.815-10.223, p = 0.001). Healthcare Professionals (HCPs) displayed high acceptability towards all system features, tracking patient history in particular. Patients expressed positive attitudes towards radiology image sharing and it is helpful for selecting radiology centres.
conclusionsParticular features of radiology image sharing were associated with positive user acceptability and perceptions. Recommendations included enhancing promotional efforts, encouraging private institutions to enrol, data confidentiality reassurance and granting same level access to patient and provider.
