Warm-up	Introduce and explain the purpose of the interview. Obtain consent to use quotes from the interview and to record the interview.	Introduce the idea of the shared care record and how it works.
Interview questions	Consider your electronic health record today (name the record), what additional health or social information regarding your patient would you like to have access to in this new shared care record or would make a difference for you, when providing care for that patient? Prompt: tell interviewee more about what a shared care record could offer them. So, for you, tell us how this information would impact or change the care you provide (or can) to your patients? Prompt: what difference would it make if you had access to all of your patient’s information (the type of information you just listed) on the shared care record? Prompt: would you look at it more or make use of that information? This would be a change and change is never easy, but what do you think you and your colleagues would need to do to adapt to using a shared care record in your day-to-day practice? Prompt: what would help your colleagues benefit from this change? Prompt: what support or resources would help you with the introduction to and adaptation to this system? Do you have any concerns with the concept of a shared care record? Prompt: Overall, what factors or conditions challenge or serve as barriers to your personal use of a shared care record? How might this change that? In closing, do you have any concluding thoughts or comments related to the shared care record that you would like to convey?	Build each question off the previous one and rearrange the order as needed according to the flow of the conversation. Use the prompts to further stimulate conversation.
Closing	Thank the interviewee for their time. Let them know not to hesitate to reach out if they have anything else they would like to discuss.	Ask interviewee whether they give permission to be contacted in the future.
