title: Concordance between medication histories and outpatient electronic prescription claims in patients hospitalized with heart failure.
abstract: Using an electronic prescription claims database and electronic hospital records, we retrospectively compared outpatient heart failure (HF) prescriptions dispensed with reported use obtained during medication histories taken at hospital admission. We found significant disagreement between each source for all but one HF medication class.
