Popis: Background/Aims When a particular health event or condition is uncommon, researchers consider broadening the target population. All Group Health (GH) patients have an electronic medical record (EMR). However, GH EMR implementation has only occurred at GH-owned clinics. For studies requiring medical record review in addition to other data collection, the practice has been to include only enrollees at GH-owned clinics. However, perhaps EMR data are more widely available. We conducted a pilot study of: How many GH network enrollees (i.e. enrolled at non-GH owned clinics) have GH EMRs that contain clinical data? What kinds of visits generate rich data in the EMR for network enrollees?
