Validation of a system for quality improvement: preliminary data.
Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are designed for patient-centered care and not for cross-patient analyses. Thus to ensure that measurements of quality of care derived from data extracted from EHRs are meaningful, they must be validated.1 We present preliminary data regarding validation of measurements of quality of care in a pediatric clinic.
