Table 3 Pros and Cons of EHR

From: Systems and precision medicine approaches to diabetes heterogeneity: a Big Data perspective

Advantages

 EHR synergies inducing deep phenotyping and marker re-modulation

 Clinical decision support systems (CDSS) providing valuable deliverables

 Network community-driven stratifications as inference drivers

Limitations

 Geo-differentiation creates heterogeneity and needs protocols for effective aggregation of patients’ information

 Records distillation for curating information towards decisions, still facing incompleteness

 Embedding of CDSS for standardization and actionable decision making
