ABSTRACT
We investigated electronic health record (EHR) access as an indicator of cardiovascular health promotion by patients in their social networks, by identifying individuals who viewed their coronary heart disease (CHD) risk information in the EHR and shared this information in their social networks among various spheres of influence. In a secondary analysis of the Myocardial Infarction Genes trial, Olmsted County MN residents (2013-2015; nâ¯=â¯203; whites, ages 45-65â¯years) at intermediate CHD risk were randomized to receive their conventional risk score (CRS; based on traditional risk factors) alone or also their genetic risk score (GRS; based on 28 genomic variants). We assessed self-reported and objectively quantified EHR access via a patient portal at three and six months after risk disclosure, and determined whether this differed by GRS disclosure. Data were analyzed using logistic regression and adjusted for sociodemographic characteristics, family history, and baseline CRS/GRS. Self-reported EHR access to view CHD risk information was associated with a high frequency of objectively quantified EHR access (71(10) versus 37(5) logins; Pâ¯=â¯0.0025) and a high likelihood of encouraging others to be screened for their CHD risk (OR 2.936, CI 1.443-5.973, Pâ¯=â¯0.0030), compared to the absence of self-reported EHR access to view CHD risk information. We thereby used EHR access trends to identify individuals who may function as disseminators of CHD risk information in social networks, compared to individuals on the periphery of their social networks who did not exhibit this behavior. Partnering with such individuals could amplify CHD health promotion.
