Research Use of Electronic Health Records

We conduct research on the research use of EHRs, including patients’ willingness to share different types of clinical data with different types of researchers; patients’ perspectives on alternative approaches to obtaining their permission for data use; and stakeholder reactions to researcher contact with patients based on EHR phenotyping.

• Electronic Health Records: Conveys basic information about EHRs, research use of clinical records and data, and oversight mechanisms and privacy protections employed in such research

• EHR Discrepancies: Uses a hypothetical study on Type 2 diabetes to explain
how and why researchers could discover potentially concerning discrepancies in EHR data
