A study of more than 5,400 patient records from 23 physician practices across the nation shows that physicians often fail to inform patients of abnormal test results, or to document that their patients were informed. Use of an electronic medical record did not improve reporting rates, and even increased failure rates if the practice did not have good processes for managing test results, according to researchers at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York.
