Assessing the quality of information in computerized patient health records: measurement of information overlap and accessibility.
The study aims to determine information overlap in the admission and summary notes by physicians and nurses to decrease redundancy and time spent on the documentation process and increase the accessibility of the notes. The population in this study is aggregated data from 50 randomly selected inpatient orthopaedic CPR's at the Veterans Health Care System San Diego. Analysis is still in progress but preliminary results indicates substantial information overlap and redundancy between nurses and physicians notes in the CPR and delays in accessibility of voice recorded notes.
