As EMRs have become a standard in medical care, there is a need for additional research of how the system and usage can be refined. A group of researchers from Brigham and Women's Hospital have done just that, and discovered that one way false information can make its way into EMRs is due to users' reliance on copying and pasting material within the patient's record. These findings are published in the May 23 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2011-05-lifestyle-glycemic-patients-diabetes-true.html Health Tue, 24 May 2011 10:22:17 EST news225451318
