The more data you can make discrete in the EHR, the more you can capture consistently at the point of care, says Charles Bailey, M.D., a pediatric oncologist at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. But it takes time to enter discrete data, so you have to make it worthwhile to clinicians, he stressed. “I think it is important to make a social contract with your EHR users. You should make it easy to participate in research via the EHR and the research should make clinical care better.”
