Emory Collaboration: A Case Study

One of the issues with the electronic systems in health care for MU is the ability to retrieve laboratory results during a patient’s visit. In 2013, Hinrichs and Zarcone reveal that over 70% of medical decisions are determined by laboratory results. In 2007, AU Health implemented Cerner Millennium PowerChart that displays clinical data to improve the point of care for patients. With the PowerChart solution, the patient’s information can be easily verified, vital signs can be entered, and family history can be updated. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) signed by President Obama in 2013 places emphasis on expanding insurance coverage of medical care for everyone. As part of the ACA, the improvements in the way these results are exchanged and transmitted will add value to quality, safety, efficiency of health information (Hinrichs & Zarcone, 2013). The transmission and availability of EHR affect how other health professionals send and receive information at the local, state, and national levels.

EMR system documents the examination, diagnosis, and treatment of a patient. This information is vital for the current and

Two specific groups that I identify with as part of my decision to attend Columbia Southern University is based on my family and work. As an individual my choice to attend is based on my own desire to achieve a higher education in order to obtain a job that is satisfactory to the life and goals I have mapped out for myself. By having a job for which I have specifically attended school for, it will allow me to get and sustain a career conducive to my own happiness and prosperity. While my own individual choice to attend school is great, I have a family that encouraged me greatly in this decision. Both my mother and father, between the two, have a Master’s degree in criminal justice, and a Bachelor's degree in paramedic studies. Naturally

EMR stands for Electronic Medical Records. It is “a paperless, digital and computerized system of maintaining patient data, designed to increase the efficiency and reduce documentation errors by streamlining the process.” (Santiago, n.d., para. 1)

* Reduction of medication errors- Barcode medication administration safeguards against wrong pt/wrong med/wrong dose errors and alerts to potential medication interactions (Goth, 2006).

Integrated EMR systems allow participating physicians to have real time access to patient charts, including test results, medical histories, and physician care notes. This provides organization throughout a patient's’ care and across different specialties improving the accuracy and efficiency of decision making. Integrated EMR systems as utilized in the ACO structure encourages physician communication and coordination in regards to testing, avoiding unnecessary frustration for the patient.

Sue, I agree. Michigan has a vaguely worded and restrictive scope of practice. On one hand, Michigan State allows NPs to practice independently. On the other hand, requires physician involvement for prescriptive privileges and reimbursement from payers. These two requirements impede NPs to work independently. Thus, for full practice authority, law makers need to eliminate the collaborative agreement between NPs and MDs, negotiate equitable direct reimbursement for same services provided, and remove obstacles that identify NPs as primary care

Kaplan Home Health will be rolling out a new Electronic Medical Records (EMR) in the summer for 2017. “The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) defines an EMR as a digital version of paper charts in a clinician’s office that contain the medical and treatment history of patients in one practice” (Zahabi, 2015). This will effect health care providers such as physicians, nurses, nurse aides, radiology personnel, and lab personnel. There will be mandatory training on this EMR system starting May 1, 2017. All staff will have an opportunity to learn the new system, ask questions, spend time practicing within the new system, as well as a comprehensive test at the

Beginning in April of 2018, I began working with Tori, a 15 year old Caucasian girl. A physician at Duke University referred Tori to the PASS clinic for pain management. For the intake, both Tori and her mother provided information regarding Tori’s current functioning and development. Tori lives at home with her biological parents, brother, and maternal grandmother.

How can EMR’s improve the nursing process now and in the future? Having had the op-portunity to perform my clinicals in three different Emergency Departments in the past two years and being exposed to both the positive and negative to both paper and paperless medical records Training new nurses is vital for an accurate EMR.

Besides the disadvantages of (EMR)’s the advantages pose great benefits to patient care and efficiency. The greater use of electronic medical records or health records can reduce wait times, of seeing doctors or waiting for test results. All staff would need to cohesively work out the technical challenges and software data. With sophisticated IT

In 2005, HIMSS Analytics developed the eight-stage EMR Adoption Model. The model reflects the results of more than 5,000 institutions surveyed about their level of clinical system implementation and progress toward a paperless EMR (HIMSS, 2009). To progress through each stage of the model, capabilities within each stage must be operational and all lower stages must have been achieved before a higher level will be considered achieved (HIMSS, 2009).

Electronic medical records had a great impact in the ushering in of the age of Nursing Informatics. (Himss, 2010)EMRS present healthcare professionals with the ability to retrieve and organize data in a quick and efficient approach. With information so readily available, patient safety increases and we know that patient cost goes down. This happens because patient medications, allergies, history, demographic, and treatment information is more collectively available.
