These records are an invaluable data source for clinical </span><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial; font-size: small;">research and improvement of clinical quality, as they provide longitudinal </span><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial; font-size: small;">health information about patient populations. The use of EHR databases </span><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial; font-size: small;">could be dramatically improved if easy-to-use interfaces allowed clinical </span><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial; font-size: small;">researchers and quality improvement analysts to explore complex patterns </span><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial; font-size: small;">in order to build and test hypotheses regarding the benefits, risks, and </span><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial; font-size: small;">appropriateness of treatments or medication regimens.</span><br style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><br style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial; font-size: small;" /><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial; font-size: small;">Novel strategies in information visualization and visual analytics are </span><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial; font-size: small;">needed.
