ABSTRACT
Accurate and complete racial/ethnic data in the electronic health record are a requisite step to addressing disparities in neurologic care, and at local, regional, and national levels. The current data pertaining to the patients' race and ethnicity contained in the electronic health record are inadequate. This article outlines recommendations at the individual practice and electronic health record vendor level to improve documentation of race and ethnicity.
