Medicaid coverage accuracy in electronic health records.
The objective of the study was to evaluate the validity of electronic health record (EHR) data for monitoring longitudinal Medicaid coverage and assess variation by patient demographics, visit types, and clinic characteristics. The researchers conducted a retrospective, observational study comparing Medicaid status agreement between Oregon community health center EHR data linked at the patient-level to Medicaid enrollment data (gold standard).

Supporting health insurance expansion: do electronic health records have valid insurance verification and enrollment data?
The researchers sought to validate electronic health record (EHR) insurance information for low-income pediatric patients at Oregon community health centers (CHCs), compared to reimbursement data and Medicaid coverage data. They concluded that EHR coverage data for children had a high overall correspondence with Medicaid data and reimbursement data, suggesting that in some systems EHR data could be utilized to promote insurance stability in their patients.

Agreement of Medicaid claims and electronic health records for assessing preventive care quality among adults.
The researchers sought to compare the agreement of electronic health records (EHR) data versus Medicaid claims data in documenting adult preventive care. For services performed in the primary care setting, EHR data compared favorably to Medicaid claims in documenting the percentage of patients with service receipt; services that were referred out were less frequently observed in the EHR.
