Leveraging Electronic Health Records in International Humanitarian Clinics for Population Health Research: Cross-Sectional Study

The method developed in this study, which used multiple independent reviews of clinical encounters, appears to reliably assign diagnosis codes across a diverse patient population in a resource-limited setting.
