Abstract：
OBJECTIVE:To test the hypothesis that advanced electronic medical record (EMR) capabilities are associated with better quality and safety of hospital care. METHODS AND FINDINGS:We used data from the HIMSS Analytics EMR Adoption Model (EMRAM(SM)) to measure the adoption and use of information technology in Dutch hospitals. To measure the quality and safety of healthcare in Dutch Hospitals we used select data from the publicly available basic set and the safety set of the Health Care Inspectorate (IGZ) and the Dutch Health Care Transparency Program 'Zichtbare Zorg' (ZIZO) program. The quality and safety measures selected reflect the measures used to score Dutch hospitals as presented in Elsevier's annual 'The Best Hospitals' publication. The scores of this publication are based upon 542 of the 1516 available indicators from this basic set and safety set. Almost all indicators from the hospital-wide indicator sets are included in the selection, as are a large portion of indicators for acute care delivered by all hospitals. Of the 84 non-academic hospitals in the Netherlands, 67 (80 %) were included in this study. RESULTS:There is no statistically significant association found between a hospital's EMRAM score and their overall quality/safety performance in the Elsevier hospital scoring model. CONCLUSION:There is no evidence found to support the research hypothesis at this point in time. This outcome maybe the result of a multiplicity of factors to include the (limited) use of the methodologies used in this study, the fact that no fully digitalized hospital (EMRAM stage 7) is yet present in the NL, and/or the organizational competency of the NL hospitals in fully leveraging the EMR to facilitate patient care. Further research is needed to explore these findings.
