With the implementation of EMR in healthcare field, physicians are able to access patients ' chart, diagnosis, treatment remotely, and they are able to get alerts about criteria lab values…

EMR Implementation Part II An effective Electronic Medical Record (EMR) is more than a management tool for controlling patient data. Methods used to monitor implementation, relationship between organization’s processes, professional roles, and communications techniques used to address issues during implementation are points to develop in this paper. The essential capability of this system consists in capture data at the point of care, integrate this information from the internal or external source…

Vendor Management Proper Vendor Inactivation In order to determine the vendors that made invoice payments in 2015 (hence, they do not have a year of no payment history), our team used the FILTER tool in Excel in order to isolate vendors that had orders after November 18th, 2014. Once those vendors were isolated, we used the CONCATENATE tool to set up the STATA function “drop if Vendor_name”. Once this function was entered into STATA, the program dropped vendors that did have a year of payment history…

Social Change of EMR Introduction/Thesis A chartless/paperless doctor’s office was once something only dreamt of in a Star Trek episode. Soon humans will utilize laser beams as a major mode of transportation; well possibly in the distant future we will transport ourselves via laser beam. The advancements in health care technology have made it possible to obtain a chartless (paperless) environment. Whether you are in private practice or part of a major health care organization, the latest…

Stanford EMR Implementation: Case Analysis This case analysis of Stanford’s Hospital and Clinics (SHC) electronic medical record (EMR) system implementation will focus on how the healthcare organization focused on resolving a problem to meet regulatory pressures and responded to an opportunity to create operational efficiency, by capitalizing on the use of information technology to help reduce costs. We will discuss the organization’s IT problems, opportunities, and the alternatives available to…
