Another Reality Check: Good Charting Vs. Good Care

This article by Greene and Moreo is one of my favorites because the journal is top-tier and the writing style is so clear and pragmatic. For example, in the "Lessons and Limitations" section, the authors note that some of the physicians involved in the chart audit pointed out that just because a patient's chart is not up to date doesn't mean that the patient is receiving poor quality care. Again, the sample size is rather small (N=30 gastroenterologists) but the choice of quality measures seems unassailable because they align with both the National Quality Strategy as well as the Physician Quality Reporting System.
