Abstract
Background: Digitization on health care is a varied trend that tends to evolve. Technologically powered advances will not adequately satisfy the demands and desires of physicians and patients. This condition results in the emergence of poorly integrated approaches.
Aim: This Narrative review of the literature discusses (1) the advantages of digitalizing the healthcare sector for patient safety and (2) obstacles in achieving the benefits of digitalizing the health care.
Method: A narrative review of open-source literature from 2012 to 2018 was conducted by employing five repositories: PubMed, CINAHL, Science Direct, PMC, and ProQuest.
Results: The investigation of 41 full-text studies from the five repositories reveals six findings: 1) electronic health records and medication, 2) benefits for patients, 3) digitalized health data exchanges, 4) patient self-management based on EHR; 5) EHR data and cost reductions, and 6) data security.
Conclusion: The digitization of healthcare records particularly Electronic Health Records, improves the part security. Nonetheless, the empirical data is relatively weak, and it seems that the accuracy of the EHR, the implementation of the EHR, and the role of health care in the EHR primarily determine the success rates.
