Taay 2/Triage Episode In Emr-Teisha

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.

Just as with paper medical charts, security of the information is an issue to a lot of people and in its own way EMR’s take precaution in keeping people out of the charts that should not be there. Almost all EMR programs are equipped with password protection.

The electronic medical record system (EMR) serves many purposes in an emergency for the patient, physicians, and hospitals involved in the diagnosis and care during an emergency.

There are two terms that are used in this discussion interchangeably and they are Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and Electronic Health Record (EHR). In general, electronic medical records are “are a digital version of the paper charts in the clinician’s office. An

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)

RE: unit 6 8/26/2015 1:11:08 PM Nice post Devan. I can see why it might be a good idea to shred a patient's records after the have been converted to EMRs. You wouldn't someone who isn't authorized to have access to

Once a medical record has been transferred into an EMR it can be shredded. Some medical offices chose to keep the records in a secured location. I suppose when it's kept secured it's a back up. But would it really be effective if they didn't change details in it every time a patient visits? some people I suppose shred it because they've used scanners to get all the information from paper to computer.

My clinical site utilizes an electronic medical record. This system is integrated with the nearby hospital system. Information is placed directly into the patients’ electronic medical record (EMR). Details related to the history and physical are entered as information is obtained during each visit. Behavior and psychosocial details get recorded in a standardized template such as a SOAP note.

Discuss an original presentation to introduce the new EMR system to staff on you unit. In your Presentation:

Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) are a digital version of the paper charts in the clinician’s office. An EMR contains the medical and treatment history of the patients in one practice. EMRs have advantages over paper records. For example, EMRs allow clinicians to:

Electronic medical records can benefit patients in many ways. One major way it can benefit a patient is the efficiency of the records being organized and easy for any practitioner or staff member to read. EMR can lower the risks of

Some negative indications when using EMR’s could be: power outages and or computer glitches, potential privacy threats, and some believe that it may lead to depersonalized patient care.

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 the planning phase, priorities established with each team member and identification of roles and responsibilities defined. With monitoring the implementation process this team can provide information vital to the success of the organizational change. This group can establish realistic deadlines consistent with the project’s goals and available resources (Leibel, Currie, Gelowitz, Aldridge & Kuncewicz (2012). This team also can assist the organization in the additional needs that may be necessary for the success of this change. According to Leibel, Currie, Gelowitz, Aldridge, and Kuncewicz (2012), “The team should make every effort to make sure the EMR process model’s the current paper practices. An electronic document that resemble the existing paper documents will require fewer changes for staff” (p. 92). When making the conversion to EMR system, the team of representatives (doctors, nurses, and other leadership staff) including selected frontline staff members who will collaborate by identifying potential improvements to workflow, safety, and quality. Creating time to get feedback from stakeholders on the draft documents will help the potential success of the change process. This gives the designated team members the needed information to make needed changes that will assist in making the system more user-friendly for everyone involved.

This case study is based on the integration of electronic medical records known as EMR. The integration process came from Dryden, New York and was tested by a small medical practice named Dryden Family Medicine. The practice has been known for its outstanding family based services given to their community. The implementation process of EMRs doesn’t come without risks, but with its outstanding paper based medical record keeping that continued to expand as the practice grew left the Dryden Family practice no other choice but to try out something new in hopes for a better outcome.
