The Association between eHealth Capabilities and the Quality and Safety of Health Care in the Netherlands: Comparison of HIMSS Analytics EMRAM data with Elsevier’s ‘The Best Hospitals’ data

Conclusion There is no evidence found to support the research hypothesis at this point in time. This outcome maybe the result of a multiplicity of factors to include the (limited) use of the methodologies used in this study, the fact that no fully digitalized hospital (EMRAM stage 7) is yet present in the NL, and/or the organizational competency of the NL hospitals in fully leveraging the EMR to facilitate patient care. Further research is needed to explore these findings.
