Failure Modes of Electronic Medical Record Implementation: A Bibliometric Study

Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) still have implementation failure risks, impacting service quality and safety. More research is needed to improve it. Hence, this study aims to explore publication patterns and research developments on the failure modes of EMR implementation to obtain novel future research topics. This research used descriptive quantitative with bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer, collected the data using specific keywords, and set no limitations to get the comprehensive data. The majority of EMR research and researcher affiliations come from developed countries. There were multiple frequently appearing keywords from each cluster, grouped into three themes, including the quality of the EMR system, the subject of EMRs, and the use of EMRs. There is still potential to study EMR failure modes in developing countries, especially about the scarce topics to ensure the implementation of this technology is safe, effective, and runs as intended.
