First, we discuss the OSM dataset and numerous additional data sources, among them the documentation of the folksonomy in the OSM wiki and statistical information about the OSM dataset ("Data sources" section).
Among vertiginous patients, the documentation rates for episode duration, relationship to head turning, hearing loss, and Hallpike maneuver were far from satisfactory.
Among lightheaded patients, the documentation rates for symptom relationship to postural change, chest pain, palpitation, syncope, and orthostatic blood pressure changes are better but there is still room for improvement.
The category "others" included among others entries for the documentation of wounds, falls and patients' need for care.
Among patients with disequilibrium, the documentation rates for falls, gait examination, cerebellar signs, Romberg's sign and visual acuity examination were again sub-optimal.
We applied this methodology in a gastrointestinal lab and improved the transparency of the documentation processes among providers.
In some cases, especially among surgeons, providers would delegate the documentation of problems to other providers, such as medical assistants or physician assistants.
The documentation is strewn among several poorly organized manuals and lots of screens with help like: "A Cut from a Playlist is actually played back from the GOP that contains the IN point through to the GOP just before the GOP that contains the OUT point".
While these actions would improve understanding of suicide and lead to more effective interventions, we predict that some racial-ethnic gaps in the documentation of comorbidity among suicides will persist as long as access to and utilization of healthcare remain incommensurate with need.
Even the NVDRS is likely to be wanting in the documentation of comorbid psychopathology among suicides.
