Integration of electronic health records in multidisciplinary health teams: Review
Keywords:
Electronic Health Records (EHRs), Patient-Centered Care, Healthcare Governance, Health Data Integration, Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs)Abstract
This review examines the incorporation of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) into electronic health records (EHRs) to advance patient-centered care and enhance population health. The study highlights the necessity of creating strong governance frameworks that balance centralized and decentralized models to achieve standardization alongside flexibility. Considerations of ethics and legality, especially in relation to patient privacy and data security, are essential for the responsible utilization of data in research and public health monitoring. The selection of suitable PRO measures necessitates a systematic methodology, taking into account both customized, condition-specific outcomes and population-wide metrics for comprehensive comparisons. Engaging stakeholders, including patients, clinicians, researchers, and IT specialists, is crucial for the successful implementation and utilization of data. The review emphasizes the necessity of establishing clear objectives, implementing a structured selection framework, and providing comprehensive training to guarantee high-quality data collection and actionable insights. Effective integration necessitates a balance between operational efficiency and ethical considerations, with the ultimate goal of enhancing health outcomes and promoting a more responsive, data-driven healthcare system. A universal approach is not yet achievable; however, the potential benefits justify considerable investment in time and resources.
