Emr System Proposal

Good Essays

Existing healthcare record system is incomplete and inefficient which cannot provide the reliable and efficient healthcare services to patients. So, the proposed EMR System’s Architecture design is produced by keeping following in mind:

a. After an increased emphasis on needs of integrated prevented care system is versioned,
b. After an increased complexity of medicine, standards of clinical care, shortage of qualified physicians and healthcare delivery is spotted,
c. An increased population which require efficient healthcare system.

The backbone of proposed EMR System is centralization of patient’s information which will be securely accessed from any physician’s office (after patient’s consent). Therefore, the proposed EMRS is designed …show more content…

o Hospital/Lab/Physician Accreditation: In order to comply with accreditation, EMRS contains feature which gathers information from accreditation or recertification bodies and update records within database. For instance, the system informs users of their training and qualification status and send reminders to keep their licenses up-to-date. The system is designed to keep federal and state requirements. o Drug & Device Monitoring: The EMRS system is designed to interact with regulatory agencies. For instance, if an unexpected drug-related health risk is detected by FDA, a Drug Safety Communication will be issued to healthcare professionals through EMRS.

 Billing & Fraud Monitoring: Sophisticated data analysis tools in EMRS through integration with other entities, will help in identifying the fraud. For example, through centralization and integration other agencies such as Dept. of Justice, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), and insurance companies would be able to review at what practices bill, their history, and how they compare to other practices. Through analysis, they would be able to identify suspected fraudulent activities and the …show more content…

For instance, the design has servers that verifies and validates through activate directory of users. Through active directory, access to specific applications/databases is determined. In addition, encryption and firewall rules will further enhance the security of data. Moreover, 2-factor authentication feature is designed for remote users accessing EMRS database from remote locations.

 Scalability & Extensibility: The modular based design of EMRS offers scalability and extensibility to meet dynamic requirements.

Furthermore, the EMR System proposed in this report is developed while keeping major lessons learned from existing users and developers. The proposed system is designed to support workflow in customization fashion. It is designed to keep users and stakeholders’ needs and users can test or pilot this EMR System before even make any decision to acquire it. All related hardware is ergonomically designed to fit user’s comfort and needs. In addition, user would not have to spend enormous time to learn this system. Some additional features are:

1. With customizable features to support workflow
2. User can test the EMRS before final procurement decision can be made. The testing feature not only focuses on daily use functions, but also ergonomics
