What are the Challenges of EHR Integration in Epidemiology?
Despite the benefits, there are challenges in integrating EHRs with epidemiological research. Data privacy and security are significant concerns, as EHRs contain sensitive patient information. Ensuring data standardization and interoperability across different healthcare systems is also a challenge. Furthermore, the quality and completeness of EHR data can vary, which may affect the reliability of epidemiological analyses.
