Week 4 Preliminary Research Draft
At this point, you should have your problem and research design clarified and should have reviewed
literature sources relating to your research. You will have to provide a list of references that you intend
to use in your research, along with a rationale for why you selected the references. Additionally, your
paper needs to include the following items as headings for each subsection in bold per APA formatting:
Please ensure that your work incorporates the following requirements;
• an analysis of the background, current state, and future state of the topic that evaluates ethical,
legal, financial, and economic considerations within the research process.
• applies critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making skills in collecting, evaluating, and
analyzing data and information relating to the research topic
• applies healthcare management concepts (planning, organizing, leading, and controlling) in
developing and presenting viable, effective, and acceptable conclusions/recommendations
relating to the topic.
You will need to submit the title page and an updated Table of Contents with page numbers for the
sections completed.

Electronic health records (EHRs) have come a long way
in the last 25 years, but there are still barriers to their
widespread adoption and benefits are sometimes less
than anticipated. As a result of technological
advancements and the lobbying of the Institute of
Medicine in the US, a movement towards replacing
paper health records with electronic records began in
the early 1990s.
The healthcare sector has slowly come to recognize the
shortcomings of paper-based patient records over the
last 25 years, and as a consequence, electronic records
have been steadily created and envisioned with
numerous anticipated advantages. The deployment,
acceptance, and usage of EHRs have come a long way in
the roughly 25 years since its inception. Regrettably,
this has been done more in a disorganized fashion than
a methodical one.
While modern EHRs still do not fulfil the demands of
today’s fast evolving healthcare environment, many of
the original hopes for saving time, increasing
productivity, and bettering the quality of treatment
have either not been achieved or have only been
accomplished in part. It was anticipated that
widespread use of EHRs would eliminate data
duplication, however this problem persists still.
Legislative protections for patients’ right to privacy and
confidentiality in the context of electronic health record
(EHR) data have only lately made substantial headway.
