Results • Prior to enrollment in the study, 26 of 105 parents (25%) reported that they kept a written health history for their child • 91% of parents opted-in for Break-the-Glass access • 25% of parents performed updates • 70% of updates by study nurses • 189 ED visits (0.47 ED visits / pt / year) • 101 Study pt • 88 control pt

Summary • Survey reliability was supported by lack of change in pre-post responses in control subjects • Families who had an EIF reported improved comfort for emergencies • Families perceived that hospital providers showed an improved comfort level when it was learned that the CSHCN had an EIF
Summary II • Families remained neutral when questions asked for a negative response questions • Families described an improvement of their perception of ED provider comfort over the course of the study, if the family had been a study participant but especially if family had used the EIF.
Summary III • Families described an improvement of their perception of pre-hospital provider comfort over the course of the study, if the family had been a study participant.
Conclusions • The MEMSCIS program was associated with development of a favorable impression of families for emergency providers. • ED visit improved family impression only if the EIF was used. • Providers responded favorably to the EIF when used.
