There are, however, significant challenges in using EHRs effectively and particularly in ensuring the quality of data recorded. Incorrect or missing data could render records as useless or indeed misleading such that conclusions drawn from the data could have a negative impact. Amongst other difficulties, recording data can be time consuming to the extent of conflicting with the GP’s primary focus of patient consultation in an already time-constrained environment. Understanding the requirements of and the demands upon GPs must be central to addressing the issue of data quality (DQ) within EHRs. As part of on-going work into DQ at the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) and in collaboration with the University of Sussex (UoS), a workshop session was held at the SAPC (Society for Academic Primary Care) conference in 2014 with the aim of exploring issues of DQ in primary care EHRs from the perspective of different users of GP data and with particular focus on how and why data is recorded in the first instance. The intended outcome was a furthered understanding of both the challenges and the direct benefits to GPs of ensuring high quality data with a view to establishing a workable approach to recording data and maximising benefits to all users of EHRs.
