Secondary uses of electronic health record data: benefits and barriers

Emir Sandhu et al. Jt Comm J Qual Patient Saf. 2012 Jan.

Abstract

In secondary use, patient data would be aggregated to improve health care delivery, yet several technological and policy barriers may slow implementation-but may be amenable to intervention.
