It depends on the research design. A poorly designed/structured research project is not valued no matter the source of the data. Researchers can also compensate for inadequacies of the source data.

Whether or not I trust research findings depends more on the researchers than whether or not the source data came from EHR data, regardless of one hospital/physician practice or many. A researcher with integrity identifies limitations in whatever data set is being used, and describes those limitations in the research conclusions.
