Agreement and validity of electronic health record prescribing data relative to pharmacy claims data: a validation study from a US electronic health record database.
The researchers conducted a retrospective cohort study among patients with linked claims and EHR data in OptumLabs Data Warehouse. Their aim was to evaluate the validity of classifying medication exposure using EHR prescribing (EHR-Rx) data. They concluded that, despite substantial variability among different medications, there was very good agreement between EHR-Rx data and PC-Rx data.

Allergy entry and deletion in the electronic health record.
The researchers aimed to assess drug allergy entry, deletion, and accumulation, to identify health care professional types recording allergy data, and to assess the reaction types that lead to allergy entry and deletion. They found that of all allergies, 38.2 percent were immune mediated and 29.6 percent included only adverse effect reactions. Unavailable or unknown reactions comprised 32.2 percent of all allergies entered or deleted.
