TL;DR
Overall resident-measured performance was similar to that of the trained abstractor for five of six measures in medicine and four of six in pediatrics, suggesting residents’ self-abstraction can be an alternative to costly trained abstractors.
Abstract
Residents' self-abstraction can be an alternative to costly trained abstractors. Appropriate use of these data should be carefully considered, acknowledging the limitations.

Overall, patients cared for by postgraduaute year-2 residents did not receive more outpatient preventive health services than those care for by PGY-1 residents, and efforts should be made to ensure quality patient care in the outpatient setting for all levels of training.
