Accuracy of Physician Electronic Health Record Usage Analytics using Clinical Test Cases.

ABSTRACT: Usage log data are an important data source for characterizing the potential burden related to use of the electronic health record (EHR) system. However, the utility of this data source has been hindered by concerns related to the real-world validity and accuracy of the data. While time-motion studies have historically been used to address this concern, the restrictions caused by the pandemic have made it difficult to carry out these studies in-person. In this regard, we introduce a practical approach for conducting validation studies for usage log data in a controlled environment. By developing test runs based on clinical workflows and conducting them within a test EHR environment, it allows for both comparison of the recorded timings and retrospective investigation of any discrepancies.
