Communication and information exchange between practices and hospitals: a survey among primary care practitioners in central Switzerland
Half of primary care physicians were satisfied with communication with regional hospitals. Primary care physicians reported a lack of timely notifications or reports about emergency admissions, in-hospital deaths, and discharges of their patients. Primary care physicians value the electronic health record portal as a supporting tool for patient management.
