Enhancing uploads of health data in the electronic health record—The role of framing and length of privacy information: A survey study in Germany

Displaying PFSs at the beginning of an upload process is a cost-effective intervention to boost EHR adoption and increase uploads of medical reports. While the length of a PFS did not influence behavior, PFSs are maximally effective if they frame information in a way that emphasizes how users can exert control over their data. Willingness to upload medical data is key to the success of the EHR, including better treatments and lower costs.
