Abstract
We developed an electronic records methodology to programmatically estimate the date of first appearance of coccidioidomycosis symptoms in patients. We compared the diagnostic delay with overall healthcare utilization charges. Many patients (46%) had delays in diagnosis of >1 month. Billed healthcare charges before diagnosis increased with length of delay.
摘要
我们开发了一种电子病历方法学，以编程方式估算患者球孢子菌病症状首次出现的日期。我们比较了诊断延迟与整体医疗保健利用费用。许多患者（46%）的诊断延迟超过 1 个月。诊断前的计费医疗费用随延迟时间的延长而增加。
