These metadata can be recorded unobtrusively and capture EHR use at a scale unattainable through direct observation or self-reports. However, there is substantial variation in how metadata on EHR use are recorded, analyzed and described, limiting understanding, replication, and synthesis across studies.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Recommendations<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>In this perspective, we provide guidance to those working with EHR use metadata by describing 4 common types, how they are recorded, and how they can be aggregated into higher-level measures of EHR use. We also describe guidelines for reporting analyses of EHR use metadata\u2014or measures of EHR use derived from them\u2014to foster clarity, standardization, and reproducibility in this emerging and critical area of research.<\/jats:p>\n
