Table 4. Potential solutions to each of the categories of data content being discussed in the literature as missing from the EHR or needing revision.

Category	Solutions
Adverse events	• Unified medical record • Voice recognition • NLP • Patient portals
Clinician cognitive processes	• Voice recognition • NLP
Data standards creation and data communication	• Unified medical record • HL7 development and standardization • Voice recognition • NLP
Genomics	• Unified medical record • Automated laboratory data transfer
