Electronic health record nudges and health care quality and outcomes in primary care: a systematic review.
Electronic health record (EHR) nudges are a common way to subtly change clinician behavior (e.g., prompt for immunizations). This review summarizes the association between EHR nudges and health outcomes in primary care. Results show nudges improve specific aspects of healthcare quality, but most studies reported only process measures—whether the nudge was accepted— not the impact on patient safety.
