What are the challenges of using EHRs in Epidemiology?
Despite their advantages, EHRs also pose several challenges:
Data Standardization: Different healthcare systems may use varying formats and terminologies, complicating data harmonization. Privacy and Security: Ensuring the confidentiality and security of patient information is paramount. Data Quality: Incomplete or inaccurate data can lead to misleading conclusions. Interoperability: Lack of interoperability between systems can hinder data sharing and integration.
