Download or read book Doctor s Office Computer Prep Kit written by F.R. Jelovsek and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rick lelovsek is one of the "old timers" in computer medicine, developing and using computer systems for over 15 years. At Duke University, he developed one of the first computerized medical records for obstetrics and gynecology and collaborated with Drs. Stead and Hammond in the development of billing and accounting systems. A founding member and current officer of the American Association for Medical Systems and Informatics (AAMSI), he heads up and writes a quarterly newsletter for a special interest group in computers for the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. He is a genuine (medical) "computernik." . I was asked as a favor to review his manuscript and suggest any needed changes before it was sent to a publisher. (He was not at that time planning to send it to Springer-Verlag.) Reading it was one of those pleasures I usually associate with a review article that finally explains those things about a subject that I was aware of but never really understood. I was familiar with practice billing, for example, but didn't really know the whys and hows of it all. Doctor's Office Com puter Prep Kit has filled the gaps in my knowledge with superb detail.

This book was released on 2013-03-13 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Working Group 5 of the International Medical Informatics Associa tion (IMIA) is dedicated to information systems in primary care with special emphasis on computer systems in the doctor's office. Accord ingly, a conference was held in Hannover in 1980 where the first ap proaches were described and experiences in system analysis, system construction and evaluation were discussed (Rienhoff, O. and Abrams, M.E. (eds.): The Computer in the Doctor's Office, North-Holland, Amsterdam: 1980). Computer hardware and software development has been rapid over the last years. Thus the prerequisites for a successful support of the work of the physician in his office have improved. But system con struction still lags behind and the actual penetration of systems is lower than 2 % of the doctors' offices in most countries. This applies to industrialized countries. However, attempts are made everywhere to improve primary care by means of modern information technology. Information systems depend upon the real environment into which they are placed: administrative procedures govern priorities and procedures in doctor's office computers, possibilities to defray cost upon the various carriers or the patients have a great influence on the propagation of systems. Furthermore, various procedures of accounting or re-imbursement may lead to a facilitation or to a delay of the in troduction of systems. The 'art of medical practice' has reached a comparable standard within at least the industrialized countries.
Download or read book Use and Impact of Computers in Clinical Medicine written by James G. Anderson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computer technology has impacted the practice of medicine in dramatic ways. Imaging techniques provide noninvasive tools which alter the diag nostic process. Sophisticated monitoring equipment presents new levels of detail for both patient management and research. In most of these high technology applications, the computer is embedded in the device; its presence is transparent to the user. There is also a growing number of applications in which the health care provider directly interacts with a computer. In many cases, these applica tions are limited to administrative functions, e.g., office practice manage ment, location of hospital patients, appointments, and scheduling. Nev ertheless, there also are instances of patient care functions such as results reporting, decision support, surveillance, and reminders. This series, Computers and Medicine, focuses upon the direct use of information systems as it relates to the medical community. After twenty five years of experimentation and experience, there are many tested ap plications which can be implemented economically using the current gen eration of computers. Moreover, the falling cost of computers suggests that there will be even more extensive use in the near future. Yet there is a gap between current practice and the state-of-the-art.
Download or read book The Digital Doctor Hope Hype and Harm at the Dawn of Medicine s Computer Age written by Robert Wachter and published by McGraw Hill Professional. This book was released on 2015-04-10 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times Science Bestseller from Robert Wachter, Modern Healthcare’s #1 Most Influential Physician-Executive in the US While modern medicine produces miracles, it also delivers care that is too often unsafe, unreliable, unsatisfying, and impossibly expensive. For the past few decades, technology has been touted as the cure for all of healthcare’s ills. But medicine stubbornly resisted computerization – until now. Over the past five years, thanks largely to billions of dollars in federal incentives, healthcare has finally gone digital. Yet once clinicians started using computers to actually deliver care, it dawned on them that something was deeply wrong. Why were doctors no longer making eye contact with their patients? How could one of America’s leading hospitals give a teenager a 39-fold overdose of a common antibiotic, despite a state-of-the-art computerized prescribing system? How could a recruiting ad for physicians tout the absence of an electronic medical record as a major selling point? Logically enough, we’ve pinned the problems on clunky software, flawed implementations, absurd regulations, and bad karma. It was all of those things, but it was also something far more complicated. And far more interesting . . . Written with a rare combination of compelling stories and hard-hitting analysis by one of the nation’s most thoughtful physicians, The Digital Doctor examines healthcare at the dawn of its computer age. It tackles the hard questions, from how technology is changing care at the bedside to whether government intervention has been useful or destructive. And it does so with clarity, insight, humor, and compassion. Ultimately, it is a hopeful story. "We need to recognize that computers in healthcare don’t simply replace my doctor’s scrawl with Helvetica 12," writes the author Dr. Robert Wachter. "Instead, they transform the work, the people who do it, and their relationships with each other and with patients. . . . Sure, we should have thought of this sooner. But it’s not too late to get it right." This riveting book offers the prescription for getting it right, making it essential reading for everyone – patient and provider alike – who cares about our healthcare system.

Download or read book Distracted Doctoring written by Peter J. Papadakos and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-07-31 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining-room computers require doctors to record detailed data about their patients, yet reduce the time clinicians can spend listening attentively to the very people they are trying to help. This book presents original essays by distinguished experts in their fields, addressing this critical problem and making an urgent case for reform, because while electronic technology has revolutionized the practice of medicine, it also poses a unique challenge to health care. Smartphones in the hands of doctors and nurses have become dangerously seductive devices that can endanger their patients. Distracted Doctoring is written for anesthesiologists and surgeons, as well as general practitioners, nurses, and health care administrators and students. Chapters include Electronic Challenges to Patient Safety and Care; Distraction, Disengagement, and the Purpose of Medicine; and Managing Distractions through Advocacy, Education, and Change.
