Epidemiology of Patient Record Duplication
The odds of duplications in medical records were higher in Black, Hispanic, older, nonmale patients with more health care encounters, more comorbidities, and unknown demographic data. Understanding the epidemiology of duplicate records can help guide prevention and mitigation efforts for high-risk populations. Duplicate records can contribute to disparities in health care outcomes for minority populations.
