Equivalence of electronic health record data for measuring hypertension prevalence: a retrospective comparison to BRFSS with data from two Indiana health systems, 2021

Utilizing available EHR data should increase timeliness of surveillance as well as enhance the ability of states and local health agencies to more readily address the burden of chronic disease in their respective jurisdictions.
