Health Story Project Roundtable | Style Standards to Improve Health IT Usability and Reduce Physician Burden

This session will discuss the value and benefits of documentation standards as described by standards developing organizations. Examples of relevant standards will be provided.

Participants will understand how applying standards of style to EHR templates, drop-down text, and data dictionaries reduces the need for data normalization and improves results from natural language processing (NLP) and artificial intelligence (AI).

Attendees will also gain valuable insight into the importance of applying style standards to human-readable text to reduce physician burden.
