Chapter Abstract:
As electronic medical records (EMR) are used in e-health by healthcare professionals and patients, there is a need to facilitate the efficiency and usability of these systems, reducing adverse patient outcomes due to EMR-related user errors. To pinpoint and mitigate errors within the electronic health record, we formulated a methodology designed to uncover entry errors within the electronic health record. This approach involves meticulously examining the electronic health record during data input and cross-referencing it with the patient's medical history to uncover potential entry discrepancies.
