Quick StatsEffects of Meaningful Use Functionalities on Health Care Quality, Safety, and Efficiency
Systematic Review of Literature from 2010-2013
The ‘Updated Systematic Review’ reviews the January 2010 to August 2013 health IT literature to examine the effects of health IT across three aspects of care — efficiency, quality, and safety. This report updates previous systematic reviews of the health IT literature, focusing specifically on identifying and summarizing the evidence related to the use of health IT as outlined in the Meaningful Use regulations.
Positive defined as health IT improved key aspects of care but none worse off; Mixed-positive defined as positive effects of health IT outweighed the negative effects; Neutral defined as health IT not associated with change in outcome; Negative defined as negative effects of health IT on outcome. Overall, the report reviews 236 titles with 279 unique impacts tabulated.
