Effectiveness and Challenges of Electronic Health Record Use in the Bosomtwe District, Ashanti Region, Ghana; A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Health science reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background and Aims: Electronic Health (EHR) systems are increasingly used to improve healthcare delivery; however, their effectiveness and implementation challenges vary across settings. This study assessed the effectiveness and challenges of EHR use among healthcare providers in the Bosomtwe District, Ghana. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 135 healthcare providers selected using simple random sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analysed using Stata 16. Descriptive statistics and chi-square tests were performed. Results: Most respondents (94.07%) reported that the EHR system was easy to use, and 85.93% agreed or strongly agreed that it improved quality of care. Overall satisfaction was high (89.63%). However, 45.19% reported monthly system shutdowns, and 53.66% resorted to paper records during downtimes. A significant association was found between profession and perceived system complexity ( Conclusion: EHR systems are perceived as effective in improving healthcare delivery; however, technical and infrastructural challenges limit optimal use.
