How accurate is information that patients contribute to their Electronic Health Record?
Wuerdeman, L., Volk, L., Pizziferri, L., Tsurikova, R., Harris, C., Feygin, R., Epstein, M., Meyers, K., Wald, J., Lansky, D., & Bates, DW. (2005). How accurate is information that patients contribute to their Electronic Health Record?AMIA Annual Symposium Proceedings, 834-838.
