LeaRRn Grand Rounds: Jacob Kean, PhD, CCC-SLP presents Electronic Health Record Repositories: Benefits and Challenges of Data Standardization in Rehabilitation

Investments by the federal government in electronic health record (EHR) repositories position the research community to advance understanding of the epidemiology of clinical conditions and the quality, effectiveness and personalization of care. Data standardization supports those lines of inquiry but is challenging to achieve in rehabilitation care. This talk will focus on access to and use of existing EHR repositories, the benefits of data standardization in rehabilitation, and practical steps that might accelerate data standardization in rehabilitation and the use of EHR repositories.
