Application Of Electronic Medical Records

In the medical field there have been a lot of technological advances and making health records electronic is one of them. The days of having a paper health record are almost obsolete. An electronic health record keeps a patient’s medical information and history on a computer which is accessible to more people in less time. I will explain how the continuity, communication, coordination and accountability of the electronic health record can help the medical office. I will explain what can be included in the electronic health record. As an advocate of the electronic health record I will also explain some disadvantages to the electronic system.

In a healthcare world that operates on stringent budgets and margins, we begin to see the need for a higher capacity healthcare delivery system. This in turn puts pressure on the healthcare organizations to ensure higher standards of patient care, and compliance with the reform provisions. However, these are the harsh realities of today’s healthcare environment, a setting in which value does not always equal quality. The use of technology can help to amend some of this by providing higher capacity care without compromising quality; this can be done with the use of such technology as electronic health records (EHRs). This paper will aim to address how EHRs influence healthcare today by expanding upon topics such as funding sources, reimbursement methods, economic factors, socioeconomic factors, business influences, and cost containment.

The EMR is a software program used to enter patients information into a computer, which organizes and stores the information. I believe most offices will keep the paper charts in a very safe location or shred it. But I think because of the confidentiality that any and all information or records relating to patients is considered privileged. basically saying keeping all information about the patient confidential.

purpose of this paper is to review the electronic medical record and analyze its impact on

Implementation of the electronic health records (EHRs) has been a growing trend in the healthcare field from fear of the unknown to the acceptance of the reality of the EHRs and the actually utilizing the system. The struggle to go live with the EHR was a challenge because change is always a difficult implementation. According to Fickenscher & Bakerman, (2011) Change is a process that is individualized base on one's ability to adopt and the interest on the change. Some people may take longer to understand a process while others will grab the skill within a short time. However, some few setbacks slow down the adoption of the EHRs when it was first implemented, Culture, communication and training and time. Despite

Electronic medical record or EMR is information technology applications. These are helping managers improve methods in facilities. Health care technology is improving and evolving EMR is an important part of that component. Health information technology helps with health care organization to keep an accurate track with patient medical information. There is also Clinical Decision Support System that helps with figuring out diagnostic treatment recommendations it helps nurses or doctors it is referred as CDSS. Electronic Management Material is used in health facilities or EMM helps with tracking inventory, such as medical supplies, pharmaceuticals, and others. These applications help to improve quality in the health care facility or services at FMHC. It helps managers keep accurate data to make sure doctors have the right information on patients and his or her care. The managers at FMHC can look through the CDSS databases and collect the correct information to see warnings on drug interactions on prescriptions to clinical protocols. The EMM can ensure the organization has the supplies

The federal requires the healthcare organizations to adopt and demonstrate the use of electronic medical records (EMR) or the electronic health records (EHR). They contain patient’s medical history and it

The Role of Electronic Health Records and Health Information Exchange in the Delivery of Quality Healthcare

The Inner City Clinic is experiencing problems with medication prescribing errors and seeks a resolution to this problem through use of electronic medical records and registration medication reconciliation. The Institute of Medicine reports in the work entitled "Preventing Medication Errors" that the "average hospitalized patient is subject to at least one medication per day. This is reported to confirm previous research findings that medication errors represent the "most common patient safety error." (Barnsteiner, nd, p.1) Medication reconciliation is described as follows:

Healthcare can be known for a complex industry. Every day is a new day facing complicated clinical administrative transactions with electronic medical records and safety? Health Information technology is suppose to realize errors using electronic medical records. Leaders must understand the complexity and safety issues in order to help mandate electronic medical records with design, development, implement and use. In the last decade, this article has informed executives, clinicians, and technology. Their main focus was on these three areas computerized physicians order entry. Their main focus was to work all three areas computer physician order entry, computer decision support system,

We live in a world filled with technology. School teachers and college professors use technology to give lectures, health care professionals use technology to keep medical records, or monitor patient’s vital signs, we use technology such as social media, to connect with people and gain acceptance. In 2014, Gary Turk posted a video to Youtube titled Look Up, in which he argues that technology, such as smartphones, causes us to miss out on certain things in life, because we don’t use it in moderation. Technology benefits our lives by making us more efficient in our professional and personal activities.

For a nation to be technologically advanced, the United States (U.S.) is having a hard time overcoming the dark era of utilizing hand written scripts, progress notes, and paper records. In comparison to other countries, the U.S. is lagging behind in the health care system. Even with all the improvements that have been made recently, the U.S. ranked last in 2014 in areas such as access, efficiency and equity compared to Australia, Canada, France Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom (Davis, Stremikis, Squires, & Schoen, 2014). Now, as our nation is trying to improve the quality, access, and proficiency of our health care, concerns have been raised whether the new policies are adequate enough for privacy amongst sharing and obtaining health information. This paper was put together to give background information on how the electronic medical record came about and whether privacy is a major concern amongst the American population.

Healthcare is a complex entity that encompasses a variety of specialties necessary toward meeting the needs of patient seeking clinical services. There are multiple communications necessary to efficiently meet patient needs. For many years detailed documentation, progress notes, specialty consults, and physician orders have been hand written. The legibility of this documentation was often illegible, and difficult to decipher, which resulted in clarification orders and often delays. The electronic medical record was introduced approximately 50 years ago with an ultimate goal of compiling healthcare information for immediate and future reference (Keller, 2016). Since the electronic medical records was initially implemented multiple versions have since been created. Successfully implementing the electronic medical record, requires a great deal of research to ensure that the specifications align with the organization’s short and long term goals.

Electronic Medical Records or Computerized Medical Record System what is it and what are the advantages along with the disadvantages of using this system? That is what we will discuss in this paper.
