Problems with health information technology and their effects on care delivery and patient outcomes: a systematic review.

Kim MO, Coiera E, Magrabi F. J Am Med Inform Assoc. 2016 Dec 23; [Epub ahead of print].

This systematic review of studies describing safety problems associated with health information technology identified mostly qualitative data and case reports. The authors suggest that their framework, an information value chain which extends from the interaction with technology to the patient outcome, could be used to enhance the literature on health information technology and safety.
