IDEXX Vetlab Station: Management Information System

Used the same program to chart patient vital signs, assessments, input and output, safety and medications among other requirements.

Two computer systems that will be considered are McKesson and Epic. In this scenario the facility is using paper charting for documentation. I have worked at a facility with this type of charting. While we had paper charting, we had a computer system for lab results and radiology reports. This computer system was McKesson. Therefore I will use this example for my project.

Encourage the use of computer-generated or electronic medication administration records. Plan for the implementation of computerized prescriber order entry systems. Consider the use of machine-readable code (i.e., bar coding) in the medication administration process. Use computerized drug profiling in the pharmacy. Be a demanding customer of pharmacy system software; encourage vendors to incorporate and assist in implementing an adequate standardized set of checks into computerized hospital pharmacy systems (e.g., screening for duplicate drug therapies, patient allergies, potential drug interactions, drug/lab interactions, dose ranges, etc.)”.

6. Maintain a data and information trail that can be readily analyzed for medical audit, research and quality assurance, epidemiological monitoring, disease surveillance (Electronic Medical Records,

Core objectives #8, 14 and 15 and menu objective #6 for meaningful use address specific laboratory requirements. Several Cerner programs will address these objectives. Health Sentry will be used for lab reporting and public health reporting

Data management team: a data entry operator, a monitor and a biostatistician. These will ensure data capture, verification and analysis. The data management team is expected to submit a weekly report to the site

The IPPS program got its start from a Yale University study that was completed in the early 1970’s and implemented in 1983. “The initial charge for the Diagnosis Related Group (DRG) developers was to create a classification system that would monitor quality of care and use of services in a hospital setting.” (Casto 126)

The data collected through computers during single research are used to synthesize evidence to guide the best care. After the synthesis of evidence, the evidence has to be translated into practice. The incorporation of EBP into the information system in healthcare has been possible to aid the clinician with their decision making.

Disease classification information structures are very important for the health care community. The ICD is used to monitor health care disease and categorize the disease in a format that is universal to all health care organizations. The ICD has provided a system to assist in the reimbursement process for health care organizations. The ICD is also important to monitor diseases and prevent the spread of infection. The ICD information structure has provided a standard that

Electronic Health Reports allow a consistent message to be delivered to every team member involved in the patient’s care plan. The

An electronic data capture system is a computerized system specifically designed to collect and analyze clinical data in specific electronic format. It is mainly used in human clinical trials and provides a graphical user interface, a validation component, and a reporting tool that aids in the analysis of the data. It is a specific tool that can increase data accuracy and decrease time to collect data for studies on drugs and medical devices that make it an ideal tool for the pharmaceutical industry. The technology has been around since the 1970s but did not become practical until the 1990s. The costs to set up are relatively high, but the cost benefit

M1 Describe the diagnostic software applications that could be used in the department, providing evidence of reports that they produce. Strengths and weakness of each diagnostic software discussed.

Both a Clinical Data Repository (CDR) and Clinical Data Warehouse (CDW) have many benefits and limitations as they save data in databases, which consolidates data from a range of clinical sources. The databases are optimized to allow physicians to retrieve data on a specific patient instead of trying to identify a common ethnic group, population, or characteristics of patients. Clinical Data Repository is used in hospital settings to track patients’ records and suggesting trends as well as observing diseases or illnesses. CDR's are specifically used in the pharmaceutical industry when prescribing medications. CDR has some positive characteristics, such as clinical laboratory test results, patient demographics, pharmacy information, radiology reports and images, discharge and transfer datas, ICD-9 codes, and discharge summaries. These benefits will help provide more knowledge about patients their medical conditions and their outcomes. Clinical Data Repository is well designed to deliver the EHR content to users to access patient information and to help save time by limiting paper records, advances results through traditional displays, and also individual patients are able to access their data quicker and easier. Outcomes of patient’s care will be monitored and analyzed patient’s health information, etc.

It has three main views where the upper view displays the duration and size of the patient groups that are chosen by physicians to administer interventions. A common timeline for each patient is shown in the lower view for the chosen attributes. In addition, Indicators (algorithms that can be applied to different attributes) are used to define and combine with the timeline to support various activities that can be carried out by the tool.

Information technology is a rapidly growing part of today's society. It affects everyone's life in many aspects. Every human endeavor is influenced by information technology and the increasing rate at which what it can perform includes. One area of human endeavor that information technology has greatly influenced is the practice of medicine, specifically veterinary medicine. Not only has veterinary medicine been influenced by information technology, it has also been enhanced by it. The degree to which the practice of veterinary medicine includes information technology is observable at the Animal Emergency Clinic of Central New York on Erie Blvd. in Syracuse, New York.
