The impact of limited access to electronic medical records on neurosurgical care within the CARICOM countries: A survey and scoping review.

Introduction: Global access to electronic medical records (EMRs) continues to grow, however many countries including those within the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) lack access to this system. Minimal research investigating EMR use in this region exists.

Research Question: How does limited EMR access impact neurosurgical care within the CARICOM?

Materials And Methods: The Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Scopus, PubMed/MEDLINE databases, and grey literature were queried for studies addressing this issue within the CARICOM and low- and/or middle-income countries (LMICs).
