Abstract

We provide a brief update on the current evidence on electronic health records' benefits, risks, and potential harms through a rapid narrative review. Many of the promised benefits of electronic health records have not yet been realised. Electronic health records are often not user-friendly. To enhance their potential, electronic health record platforms should be continuously evaluated and enhanced by carefully considering feedback from all stakeholders.
