摘要

Aim We hypothesized that the quality of the assessment of abnormal laboratory data in the emergency department (ED) could affect the hospital‐attending physicians’ decision‐making after a patient's hospitalization. To test this hypothesis, we investigated how patients with a positive D‐dimer result were reported by ED physicians in electronic medical records, and measured whether lower extremity venous ultrasonography examination was undertaken during hospitalization by the hospital‐attending physicians. Methods In an urban tertiary acute care general hospital in Japan, between January 2012 and December 2013, we included patients hospitalized after a positive D‐dimer measurement (≥1.0?μg/mL) that was taken in the emergency department. We retrospectively measured the quality of ED physician assessments. Then we examined whether that affected the decisions of attending physicians to order lower extremity venous ultrasonography examinations during hospitalization. The exposure variable was the quality of the ED physicians’ assessment of patients with positive D‐dimer results. The outcome was whether a lower extremity venous ultrasonography examination was ordered by the attending physician during hospitalization. Results When assessments were described by ED physicians for patients with positive D‐dimer results, the attending physicians frequently ordered lower extremity venous ultrasonography (odds ratio, 10.74; 95% confidence interval, 5.92–19.50), even if the assessments only contained “copied and pasted” laboratory data (odds ratio, 1.68; 95% confidence interval, 2.10–2.40). Conclusions Better documentation by ED physicians, regarding patients with positive D‐dimer results, strongly affected the decisions made by attending physicians to order lower extremity venous ultrasonography examination. Several cross‐sectional studies have reported on the quality of electronic medical records (EMRs) in the clinical setting, whereas a study has shown the ease with which copy and paste can be used in EMRs. However, none of these studies could answer how much copied‐and‐pasted documentation was transmitted between physicians by the EMRs, and none investigated the influence of the assessment quality by the EMRs in a cohort setting, even retrospectively. Better documentation by emergency department physicians, regarding patients with positive D‐dimer results, strongly affected the decisions made by attending physicians to order lower extremity venous ultrasonography examination.
