Electronic Health Records and Clinical Decision Support Systems Impact on National Ambulatory Care Quality Max J. Romano, BA; Randall S. Stafford, MD, PhD Arch Intern Med. Published online January 24, doi: /archinternmed

Background Electronic health records (EHRs) are increasingly used by US outpatient physicians. They could improve clinical care via clinical decision support (CDS) and electronic guideline–based reminders and alerts.

Background While past studies within specific institutions have demonstrated better quality as a result of EHR implementation, using 2004 national data Linder et al found no quality difference between ambulatory care provided with and without EHRs. Several recent studies have also failed to observe an association between EHR use and improved quality of care

One EHR function of key relevance to quality is clinical decision support (CDS), a feature that that alerts, reminds, or directs health care providers according to clinical guidelines. Past evaluations present conflicting results regarding CDS’s effects on quality (on specific diseases)

Background We hypothesized that CDS functionality is associated with higher-quality outpatient care compared with EHR use without CDS.

METHODS DATA SOURCE  National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS, )  National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS, )

METHODS pharmacological management of common chronic diseases (9 indicators) appropriate antibiotic use in urinary tract infection and viral upper respiratory infections (2 indicators) preventive counseling regarding diet, exercise, and smoking cessation (5 indicators) appropriate use of screening tests for blood pressure measurement, urinalysis, and electrocardiography (3 indicators) Inappropriate prescribing in elderly patients (1 indicator)

METHOD DATA AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS  EHR and CDS use in the clinical practice,  use of an EHR but without CDS,  no use of an EHR.

RESULT

DISCUSS Given the multiple comparisons, our findings indicate no association between CDS and quality. We report the use of EHRs in only 29% of primary care visits. The most recently available data from 2005 through 2007 may not reflect current practice patterns.

Conclusion Despite the promise of better quality, the clinical benefits of EHRs and CDS are not evident in our quality indicators. While EHRs offer substantial administrative efficiency over paper records, current patterns of EHR and CDS use do not appear to translate into better outpatient quality of care.
