Health information technologies, such as electronic health records (EHRs), can potentially improve patient safety in our health care system. The potential advantages include increased quality and more efficiency in the care of patients. Adoption of EHRs has been slow despite these advantages and a national call for EHR implementation.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 October 2011.
All research outputs
#17,285,668
of 25,373,627 outputs
Outputs from Health Care Management Review
#441
of 680 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#143,826
of 172,626 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Health Care Management Review
#3
of 6 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,373,627 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 680 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.1. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 172,626 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 8th percentile – i.e., 8% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 6 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 3 of them.
