Methods of Documentation VII: EMR01:30

Methods of Documentation VII: EMR

Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) primarily center around electronically documenting patients' health information within a single healthcare organization or practice. They contain essential clinical data related to a patient's medical history, diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, lab results, and other pertinent information relevant to the specific encounter or episode of care. EMRs are designed to streamline documentation and workflow processes within individual healthcare settings,...
Data Reporting and Recording01:24

Data Reporting and Recording

Reporting and recording are crucial in data documentation. The timely, thorough, and accurate documentation of facts is essential when recording patient data. Failure to record findings during an assessment or interpretation of a problem will result in loss of information and make the patient document unreliable. The reader is left with general impressions if the information is not specific. A recording is documenting data of the individual's health information in a traceable, secure, and...
Archival Research01:40

Archival Research

Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

Area of Science:

  • Dental Informatics
  • Clinical Research Data Management

Background:

  • Dental practices generate electronic health records containing valuable data.
  • Dental practice-based research networks (PBRNs) collect specific data for research studies.
  • Leveraging existing clinical data for research offers significant benefits, including efficiency and reduced costs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the extent of overlap between data elements collected in routine dental clinical care and those required for dental PBRN studies.
  • To quantify the proportion of common data elements (CDEs) used in NIDCR-funded PBRNs that are present in general dental records.

Main Methods:

  • Mapping 734 unique data elements from the Dental Information Model (DIM) to 2,487 Common Data Elements (CDEs) curated by the NIDCR's PBRNs.
  • Utilizing the Cancer Data Standards Registry and Repository (caDSR) for data element curation and comparison.
  • Analyzing the degree of match (complete or partial) between DIM elements and CDEs.

Main Results:

  • Thirty-three percent of DIM data elements completely matched at least one CDE.
  • An additional 9% of DIM data elements partially matched CDEs.
  • This translates to approximately 9% complete and 2% partial overlap of all data elements used in PBRN studies, with dental anatomy, medications, oral biopsy, and caries being frequently matched categories.

Conclusions:

  • A substantial number of data elements in general dental electronic health records are either completely or partially mappable to research data fields used in PBRNs.
  • The findings support the feasibility of using electronic clinical data for research purposes in dentistry.
  • Further investigation into the practical implementation and benefits of utilizing electronic clinical data for dental research is warranted.
