A study performed at Hôpital Pitié-Salpétrière in France examined the objectives, conception and expected benefits of electronic medical records (EMR) in the Intensive Care Unit. The study discusses how the right EMR can help address the complexity of managing ICU patients, and focuses on MetaVision as its primary example. Using two studies of patient outcomes based on paper records compared to the MetaVision EMR, the authors point out that while the impact of EMRs on mortality, ICU length of stay and duration of mechanical ventilation varies from study to study, the data suggest that the use of EMRs is advantageous. Due to the difficulty of designing multi-centre randomised controlled studies, the authors recommend retrospective case-control studies with a tight matching between patients as a next step.
