During the last two decades, improving the quality and safety of healthcare has become a focus in rheumatology. Widespread use of electronic health records (EHRs) and the availability of digital data have the potential to drive quality improvement, improve patient outcomes, and prevent adverse events. In the coming years, developing and leveraging tools within the EHR will be the key to making the next big strides in improving the health of patients with rheumatoid arthritis and other rheumatic diseases, including building EHR infrastructure to capture patient outcomes and developing automated methods to retrieve information from free text of clinical notes.
在过去的二十年中，提高医疗保健的质量和安全性已成为风湿病学的关注重点。电子健康记录（EHR）的广泛使用和数字数据的可用性有可能推动质量改进，改善患者的预后，并预防不良事件。在未来几年，开发和利用 EHR 中的工具将是在改善类风湿关节炎和其他风湿性疾病患者健康方面取得更大进展的关键，包括建立 EHR 基础设施以捕获患者的预后结果和开发从临床记录的自由文本中检索信息的自动化方法。
