The use of electronic patient records (EPR) in healthcare practice has become increasingly important and their potential to improve healthcare delivery, health promotion, coordination of care and disease monitoring has been well documented. The Canton of Vaud has joined the Association Cara to implement the EPR and so far 1000 persons have signed up as patients at the CHUV database. Yet, not much is known about the profile and usage of EPR in practice. This pilot mixed method sequential study aims (1) to document the profile of EPR users signed up at the CHUV; and (2) to explore the patients' and health professionals' perceptions about EPR use and its potential benefits and pitfalls. A quantitative analysis of EPR users at the CHUV followed by qualitative phenomenological interview study will allow to get an understanding of the current use and future adaptation for an efficient and useful digitalised EPR.

Two of the challenges facing today's societies is the aging population and the health system facing mounting cost pressures. The importance of interprofessional collaboration (IPC) has increased over the years due to a coordination of care required for an aging population with more complex care needs. In practice, IPC is often demanding, and evident factors (e.g. hierarchy between professional groups, breakdown in communication, or prevailing culture of professional separation) make implementation of new care pathways challenging. Using a constructivist approach enabling to bridge the gap between research and practice, our aim is to test the feasibility of an innovative Capacity-Building 8-step program (CBIP) to enhance teamwork in a geriatric university hospital. Inspired by the Citizen Science approach, the program is based on a combination of an ethnographic approach and the cyclical process of participatory action research. By adapting to an institution's context, our approach provides a sustainable bottom-up framework for healthcare institutions to address their IPC challenges
