Retrospective review of a plurality of electronic medical records is performed. The retrospective review comprises searching for electronic medical records relevant to the disease condition. The earliest electronic medical record reflecting the disease condition is identified. Based on the earliest electronic medical record reflecting the disease condition, one or more of the electronic medical records having an omission or inconsistency is identified. The one or more of the electronic medical records having an omission or inconsistency are flagged for supplemental review in a worklist.
