Implementation of electronic health record (EHR) systems can present both improvements and threats in safety. This scoping review including 27 articles found wide variation in how medication safety is evaluated following EHR implementation. The authors propose a sociotechnical-based conceptual model to evaluate medication safety in future studies, including focusing on identifying technical and sociotechnical dependencies, developing EHR-specific definitions, and using multiple data sources to capture a comprehensive picture of safety.
