Evaluating EHR-Integrated Digital Technologies for Medication-Related Outcomes and Health Equity in Hospitalised Adults: A Scoping Review.
Article in Journal of medical systems, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The purpose of this scoping review is to identify and evaluate studies that examine the effectiveness and implementation strategies of Electronic Health Record (EHR)-integrated digital technologies aimed at improving medication-related outcomes and promoting health equity among hospitalised adults. Using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), the implementation methods and outcomes of the studies were evaluated, as was the assessment of methodological quality and risk of bias. Searches through Medline, Embase, Web of Science, and CINAHL Plus yielded 23 relevant studies from 1,232 abstracts, spanning 11 countries and from 2008 to 2022, with varied research designs. Integrated digital tools such as alert systems, clinical decision support systems, predictive analytics, risk assessment, and real-time screening and surveillance within EHRs demonstrated potential in reducing medication errors, adverse events, and inappropriate medication use, particularly in older patients. Challenges include alert fatigue, clinician acceptance, workflow integration, cost, data integrity, interoperability, and the potential for algorithmic bias, with a call for long-term and ongoing monitoring of patient safety and health equity outcomes. This review, guided by the CFIR framework, highlights the importance of designing health technology based on evidence and user-centred practices. Quality assessments identified eligibility and representativeness issues that affected the reliability and generalisability of the findings. This review also highlights a critical research gap on whether EHR-integrated digital tools can address or worsen health inequities among hospitalised patients. Recognising the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), this review calls for further research on its influence on medication management and health equity through integration of EHR and digital technology.
