"EMERGing" Electronic Health Record Data Metrics: Insights and Implications for Assessing Residents' Clinical Performance in Emergency Medicine.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Competency-based medical education requires that residents are provided with frequent opportunities to demonstrate competence as well as receive effective feedback about their clinical performance.
