Medical records were analyzed for readability of handwritten medication entries and for errors in the medication documentation.
The source-to-database error rate in the documentation process is acceptably low (on average, 10.3 errors per 10,000 fields).
The legibility of prescriptions was analyzed to explore its possible influence on the error rate in the documentation process.
Therefore, the automation of standardized well-defined procedures may reduce the error rate in the documentation process.
The majority of data ambiguities that were found during the reviewing process (41 in total) were transcription errors confirming that the documentation process is still the most error-prone stage in reporting mtDNA population data, especially when performed manually.
However, it was not foreseen that errors would arise in the documentation of both the voiding interval and the proposed voiding times, two prerequisites for both successfully undertaking the SVP and enabling the calculation of differences between actual and proposed voiding times.
Of those documented with no prior epilepsy diagnosis, a few were on AED therapy but we were unable to retrospectively determine if this was because of error in the clinical documentation or because the drugs had been prescribed for a different indication.
The office's study, released last month, found "inconsistencies, gaps and calculation errors in planning documentation" that the Defense Department provided in determining the size for the new hospital.
In this context, Fränkel et al. detected that errors in the paper based ventilation time documentation caused 22.7% false patient groupings in six of seven observed ICUs and reported an enormous negative cost effect [ 3].
Due to errors in documentation of the voiding intervals and proposed voiding times it was not possible to assess fidelity directly as planned.
This finding could have several possible explanations: as noted above, the longer documentation period for resource use in the pre-study year could lead to more recall bias and more errors in resource documentation for this period.
