<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Probably not. It sounds like it was either human error (e.g., someone entered information into a wrong chart) or a software error (e.g., the EHR software mixed up its database indices). Or it could be simple
fraud (e.g., doctor shopping). In any event, I think the best defense against erroneous records is greater, easier, and quicker patient access. Just like paper charts before them, electronic records will always have inaccuracies. This isn’t really news.
It’s how quickly they can be identified and remedied—that’s the key.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
