The impact of electronic medical records data sources on an adverse drug event quality measure

Table 2

Annual (2008) results by local and national data sources

Data source Denominator Numerator Trigger Rate = denominator/numerator
Orders placed 5178 411 7.94%
Medication charged 4747 66 1.39%
Orders charged 4150 54 1.30%
Medication administered 4116 31 0.75%
PHIS (medication charged) 3270 53 1.62%

  • The first four rows are based on local electronic medical record (EMR) data; the last row is based on the Child Health Corporation of America (CHCA) Pediatric Health Information Systems (PHIS) national data warehouse. The EMR-based ‘medication charged’ data source is conceptually similar to the charge-based PHIS data source.
