Task-oriented evaluation of electronic medical records systems: development and validation of a questionnaire for physicians.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The linkage of records which refer to the same entity in separate data collections is a common requirement in public health and biomedical research. Traditionally, record linkage techniques have required that all the identifying data in which links are sought be revealed to at least one party, often a third ...
