Reviewer 2 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

This qualitative study provides an overview of the use of the integrated electronic medical record (iEMR) by 16 dietitians in Australia. The authors identified four themes and ten subthemes during the coding process. Overall, the article is well-written.

Major comments:

1. In qualitative studies, it is a common practice to include at least two coders. Please justify the use of only one coder for this study.
2. Please include the information on whether the participants got compensation for their time.
3. Please include the reflexivity practice details during data coding and analysis.
4. Discussion: Please include examples from other qualitative and/or quantitative studies on the importance of iEMR to assist people during care transitions.
5. Discussion: I suggest exploring the innovation suggestions further and how to implement them in clinical practice, as this will improve the impact of this study.

Minor comments:

6. Lines 163-164: Please include the citation of the approach performed.
