Accuracy of Parental Self-Report of Medical History in a Dental Setting: Integrated Electronic Health Record and Nonintegrated Dental Record.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the extent of concordance and significance of inaccuracies between a parent-reported medical history in a nonintegrated electronic dental record (EDR) and an integrated electronic health record (EHR). In a retrospective institutional review board chart review, a single trained examiner compared medical histories in an EDR with the same patient's history from an EHR for concordance in sociodemographic, medical condition, allergy, and medication variables deemed significant to dental care. Of 4,282 possible patient comparisons, 291 patients were randomly sampled and compared.
