The role of electronic health records systems in de-implementing low-value care in primary care: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Electronic health record (EHR) systems have been used to support the implementation of evidence-based care. Growing evidence suggests that EHR systems can also support de-implementation of low-value care. However, a review of this literature has not been conducted. This scoping review will: 1) summarize how EHR-based interventions themselves have been used in primary care settings to de-implement low-value care, 2) summarize the effectiveness of these EHR interventions, 3) describe de-implementation strategies and outcome measures that have been used, and 4) describe facilitators and barriers that influence EHR-based de-implementation interventions.

Methods

We conducted a search using MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase, and Web of Science on January 19, 2024 for peer-reviewe
