More than 91% of hospitals use WeChat, and 32.37% of hospitals developed their own standalone apps or use vendors\u2019 apps. A total of 54.63% were released to both outpatients and inpatients, and the top release contents were all objective. A rough estimation is made that releasing EHR data to patients via smart apps may save the hospital 15.9 million RMB per year and patients 9.4 million RMB altogether.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>EHR data release is believed to bring both patient and hospital cost savings and efficiency gains but is still considered spontaneous and requires legal support and government regulation.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12911-021-01425-w","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,30]],"date-time":"2021-07-30T09:03:36Z","timestamp":1627635816000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Investigation of patients\u2019 access to EHR data via smart apps in Chinese Hospitals"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Ting","family":"Shu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fan","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hongxia","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2127-9624","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wei","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"1425_CR1","unstructured":"Vaishali Patel MPH, Christian Johnson MPH.
