The American Reinvestment and Recovery Act, EHR-incentive rule and ‘Meaningful use objective/measures’ guidelines have the potential to accelerate the utilization of EHR/EMRs by healthcare providers and institutions. Patients, Providers, Manufacturers and Payors are expected to benefit from improved public health decision-support delivered through effective use of this type of evidence. In this workshop, we discuss the potential benefits and risks involved in mining information outside of controlled trials to create insights on diseases, drugs, and patient populations.
