There’s a disconnect between what patients report as symptoms and what information is recorded in the electronic health record (EHR), a new study has found.
Researchers found that symptoms patients reported on a questionnaire at an eye center, from blurry vision to pain or discomfort, frequently did not match what was recorded in the EHR, according to the study published in JAMA Ophthalmology. Most often patients reported symptoms in the questionnaire that were not in the EHR.
