Abstract
Abstract
Background
Electronic health records (EHRs) are widely accepted to enhance the health care quality, patient monitoring, and early prevention of various diseases, even when there is incomplete or missing information in them.
Aim
The present review sought to investigate the impact of EHR implementation on healthcare quality and medical decision in the context of epidemiological investigations, considering missing or incomplete data.
Methods
Google scholar, Medline (via PubMed) and Scopus databases were searched for studies investigating the impact of EHR implementation on healthcare quality and medical decision, as well as for studies investigating the way of dealing with missing data, and their impact on medical decision and the development process of prediction models. Electronic searches were carried out up to 2022.
Results
EHRs were shown that they constitute an increasingly important tool for both physicians, decision makers and patients, which can improve national healthcare systems both for the convenience of patients and doctors, while they improve the quality of health care as well as they can also be used in order to save money. As far as the missing data handling techniques is concerned, several investigators have already tried to propose the best possible methodology, yet there is no wide consensus and acceptance in the scientific community, while there are also crucial gaps which should be addressed.
Conclusions
Through the present thorough investigation, the importance of the EHRs’ implementation in clinical practice was established, while at the same time the gap of knowledge regarding the missing data handling techniques was also pointed out.
