Summary
This systematic review evaluated Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems using ISO/IEC 25010 standards. Findings indicate difficulty in definitively ranking EHR systems based on software quality characteristics.
Area of Science:
- Health Informatics
- Software Engineering
- System Evaluation
Background:
- The UK aimed for a unified Electronic Health Record (EHR) system by 2020, integrating primary, secondary, and social care.
- Evaluating EHR systems is crucial for successful implementation and interoperability across healthcare sectors.
Conclusions:
- Direct comparisons of EHR systems are limited, hindering definitive assessments.
- Evaluating EHR systems across all eight SQuaRE characteristics reveals complexities in determining superior software quality.
- Further research is needed to establish clear benchmarks for EHR system evaluation using standardized quality metrics.
