An integrated healthcare system (IHS) is a set of organizations that provides for or arranges to provide coordinated and continuous service to a defined population. The IHS takes responsibility for that particular population's health status and outcome, both clinically and fiscally. An integrated healthcare system is a well-organized, well-coordinated, and collaborative network. The integrated delivery system is a network that connects different healthcare providers to deliver organized,...

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Informatics
  • Health Equity Research

Background:

  • Community-level factors significantly influence population health and health equity.
  • There is growing interest in merging community data with electronic health records (EHRs) for primary care applications in the USA.
  • Integrating social determinants of health into EHRs is a key strategy for addressing health disparities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review existing literature on combining community-level factors with EHR data for primary care.
  • To analyze recommendations, applications, and impacts of integrated community and EHR data.
  • To assess the current evidence base for improving healthcare, patient health, and health equity.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature review of publications on community data integration in EHRs.
  • Analysis of studies focusing on primary care settings within the USA.
  • Categorization of findings based on recommendations, usage examples, and reported impacts.

Main Results:

  • Numerous publications highlight the potential of combined data to inform clinical decisions, guide interventions, monitor population health, and foster community engagement.
  • Identified strategies aim to reduce health disparities and advance health equity through data integration.
  • Despite enthusiasm, empirical evidence demonstrating significant improvements in healthcare delivery, patient health outcomes, or health equity is scarce.

Conclusions:

  • While the integration of community-level data into EHRs holds considerable promise for enhancing primary care and promoting health equity, robust evidence of its real-world impact is currently lacking.
  • Further research and rigorous evaluation are needed to validate the effectiveness of these integrated data approaches.
  • Translating the potential of community data in EHRs into measurable improvements in health equity requires more empirical support.
