A volunteer working group will be looking at EHR content remediation practices, standards, policies, etc. this fall/winter. The goal is to assemble current practices to remediate when the wrong patient, wrong encounter or wrong document type is selected within the complex space of a fulsome clinical information system (also known as an EHR, EPR, EMR, etc.).

Thanks for considering this topic. ------------------------------ Grace Burwash ------------------------------
