description <h4>Introduction</h4> <p>The use of health information technologies (HITs) has been associated with positive benefits such as improved health outcomes and improved health services. Results from empirical studies reported potential benefits of HITs in preventive medicine measures such as primary prevention. This review will examine the broad range of HITs and their uses and effectiveness in primary prevention. </p> <h4>Methods and analysis</h4> <p>We will conduct searches in relevant databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Methodology Register, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, CINAHL, SCOPUS and Web of Science) using Arksey and O'Malley's scoping review methodology. The scoping review will include all study designs to identify the literature on health information technology uses. Two reviewers will independently screen the literature following our screening criteria and using a data abstraction form. Findings will be summarized quantitatively (using numerical counts of HITs) and qualitatively (using narrative synthesis). </p> <h4>Ethics and dissemination</h4> <p>The study will synthesize data from published literature and will not require an ethical approval. The results of the review will be disseminated through a peer-reviewed journal. </p> <h4>Registration</h4> <p>Because the review method uses a scoping protocol, it is ineligible for submission to PROSPERO. </p>
