The sections below detail the benefits, costs, and barriers in evaluating EMR implementations. Selecting, financing, and launching an EHR system is difficult.

Dean Sittig, professor at UT Houston's School of Biomedical Informatics, has suggested a new set of criteria for determining for an EMR implementation. Based on Koch's Postulates and Hill's criteria for causation, these criteria are designed specifically for EMR evaluation.

  • Must have the hardware and software available before the effect is identified.
    • Need to at least estimate state of affairs before system is implemented…manual review
  • Show that clinicians are actually using the system that could produce the effect.
  • Show that the effect increases with increasing availability and usage of the system.
  • Show that all obvious “alternative explanations” for the effect are false.
  • Show the effect goes away when the system goes away.
  • Show that a similar effect occurs when a similar system is installed and used at a similar facility.
