Problem:
Overall, 76% (16/21) of the studies that discussed the financial outcomes of EHR adoption presented a positive relationship between EHR adoption and financial outcomes. These studies observed changes in financial outcomes in terms of profit ratios, costs, revenues, reimbursements, and return on assets. Consistent with the literature, value realization, especially in terms of financial outcomes, is lagging as it involves a large upfront cost [18]. Regarding clinical outcomes, 76% (35/58) of the studies that examined the clinical outcomes of EHR adoption indicated a positive relationship between EHR adoption and clinical outcomes in terms of LOS, readmission rates, patient satisfaction, medical errors, patient safety, user productivity, and quality indicators at individual patient levels.
