Measuring Electronic Health Record Use in Primary Care: A Scoping Review.

Background: Simple measures of electronic health record (EHR) adoption may be inadequate to evaluate EHR use; and positive outcomes associated with EHRs may be better gauged when varying degrees of EHR use are taken into account. In this article, we aim to assess the current state of the literature regarding measuring EHR use.

Objective: This article conducts a scoping review of the literature to identify and classify measures of primary care EHR use with a focus on the Canadian context.
