Hagström J, Blease CR, Kharko A, et al. Adolescents identifying errors and omissions in their electronic health records: a national survey. Stud Health Technol Inform. 2023;302:242-246. doi:10.3233/shti230111.
Patients are increasingly able to access their health record via electronic patient portals and many report finding errors in the record. This study asked adolescent (ages 15-19) patient portal users if they had identified errors or omissions in their record, and if so, did they report them to their provider. Approximately one-quarter of patients identified an error and 20% identified an omission. The majority of those patients did not report it to the clinic or healthcare provider.
