Methods of Documentation VII: EMR

832
Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) primarily center around electronically documenting patients' health information within a single healthcare organization or practice. They contain essential clinical data related to a patient's medical history, diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, lab results, and other pertinent information relevant to the specific encounter or episode of care. EMRs are designed to streamline documentation and workflow processes within individual healthcare...

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Health Informatics
  • Musculoskeletal Disorders

Background:

  • Electronic health records (EHRs) offer potential for collecting complex data in managing work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs).
  • Musculoskeletal (MSK) therapists and occupational medicine physicians can leverage EHRs for enhanced data collection.
  • Traditionally challenging variables in WMSD management can be addressed through EHRs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the extent of research utilizing EHRs for predicting WMSD outcomes.
  • To identify research trends in EHR application for MSK therapists in managing WMSDs.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic literature search was conducted across major databases (Medline, PubMed, CINAHL, Embase) and grey literature.
  • 2156 unique papers were retrieved, with 38 included in the final review.
  • The review focused on three themes: EHRs for outcome prediction, data sources, and standardized information adoption.

Main Results:

  • Only 6 studies used EHRs to predict MSK disorder outcomes, with 3 focusing on MSK therapists and 4 on WMSDs.
  • Challenges identified include data quality, missing data, and unstructured data, common in secondary data research.
  • A standardized minimum data set for MSK therapists managing WMSDs has not yet been established.

Conclusions:

  • Research on using EHRs to predict WMSD outcomes is currently limited.
  • EHR design must address data quality issues and establish standardized datasets for occupational healthcare.
  • Standardized data can improve clinical decision-making for regulators, researchers, and practitioners.
