Lack of Impact of Electronic Health Records on Quality of Care and Outcomes for Ischemic Stroke

ConclusionsIn our sample of GWTG-Stroke hospitals, EHRs were not associated with higher-quality care or better clinical outcomes for stroke care. Although EHRs may be necessary for an increasingly high-tech, transparent healthcare system, as currently implemented, they do not appear to be sufficient to improve outcomes for this important disease.
