Implication

Systematic review reveals mixed clinical practice effects and no patient outcome benefits for computer-based record systems, suggesting broader evaluation of organizational factors is needed.

Key Points

To evaluate the impact of computer-based patient record systems on medical practice, quality of care, and user and patient satisfaction.
Searched Medline, Cochrane, and Embase databases for studies published between 2000 and March 2003.
Selected 26 articles examining computer-based record systems that record patient characteristics and provide clinician decision support, advice, or reminders.
Preventive care was positively impacted in all 3 studies assessing it, whereas 12 studies evaluating medical practice and guideline compliance reported positive outcomes as frequently as no benefit.
Physician and patient satisfaction were consistently positive, but none of the 6 studies evaluating patient health outcomes demonstrated measurable benefit.
