What is electronic health record (EHR)?

critique of an article on benefits EHR documentation . must be a quantitative study Assignment: Quantitative Research Critique/Appraisal Conduct a critical appraisal of a quantitative nursing research study which you might could use as evidence in the review of literature. Use the critique guides and checklists found in this module to gather the information and then use that information to create an APA form/style paper for submission. NOTE: This must be original research. Meta-analysis, Meta-Synthesis, or reviews will not be accepted.

A study by (Häyrinen, Lammintakanen & Saranto, 2010) has been taken into
consideration to follow up with the process of critical appraisal regarding the benefits of the
HER system. Simple online nursing records are based on the practice of nursing, but the
nursing process is used differently between patients. There are not enough development notes
on the evaluation of needs, the recognition of nursing conditions and treatment priorities and
the proposed nursing strategies.
EHRs are patient-centric, real-time records, which provide approved users with
information instantly and safely. While an EHR does include the diagnosis and health records
of patients, a EHR system is designed for a larger view of patient care than traditional clinical
data gathered in a provider's office. EHRs could include the medical history of the patient, the
diagnosis, the medications, the treatment schedules, the vaccine dates, allergies, the
radiologic records, and the details of a diagnostic and test results; that physicians can use to
determine a patient's care (healthit.gov, 2020)
Approaches used to conduct scientifically valid scientific studies provide critical
reading and review of the consistency of the research literature. Formal post-graduate
research preparation therefore encompasses a critical evaluation dimension (Häyrinen,
Lammintakanen & Saranto, 2010).
The words ' validity' and' trustworthiness' need to be considered to understand the
basis of critical assessment. The paper shows validity can be broadly separated into' build'
and' external' validity. The integrity of the system is the degree of use of metrics and
calculation processes by which the findings are honestly deduced. Systematic review involves
literature review focused on the study topic and therefore the search technique used that may
include "grey" literature. Randomized control trial (RCT) is Randomly distributed (study)

and control group (no interference or placebo) pre-determined timeline and effect factor(s) in
the Randomized control test style (experimental) participants. Cohort study is the conception
and implementation of the longitudinal study Subjects of causative actions or behaviors (test
factor) In contrast with the result factor(s), the monitoring cohort is not interested in the same
subjects and tests.
Case control study is a Retrospective (non-experimental) design of the studies Cases
and commands compared to result factor(s) Cases and controls are not intervened (possibly
matched to topical subjects). Quasi-experimental analysis includes non-randomized study and
control groups in which genuine experimental study (e. g. ethically) is not feasible. Even the
pre and post intervention methods are also included in the study. Case study to examine
outcomes in unusual or rare cases that do not have any statistical analysis and shows weak
sample generalization (Smith, 2020).
The reading of a research article may provide the reader with insight into critical
evaluation skills. This paper outlines the central knowledge needed to analyze quantitative
research objectively. Quantitative analysis with healthy skepticism should be read about the
methodology, findings and assumptions that guide the creation of one's own work or the
population background in which we are involved.
The following narration draws the attention both towards the pros and cons of the
EHR based system of healthcare. However, the fact stands that the paper lacked describing
certain topics of critical evaluation, methodologies and findings as well. Those inclusions can
further enhance the quality study of the article.
