Download or read book The electronic patient record written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Health Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2007-09-13 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In England, implementing Electronic patient record (EPR) systems is one of the main aims of the 10-year National Programme for Information Technology (NPfIT). The main plank of the NPfIT programme is the NHS Care Records Service (NCRS) which will create two separate EPR systems: a national Summary Care Record (SCR), containing basic information, and local Detailed Care Records (DCRs), containing more comprehensive clinical information. NCRS will also include a Secondary Uses Service (SUS) which will provide access to aggregated data for management, research and other 'secondary' purposes. On the SCR, this report finds: a lack of clarity about what information will be contained; consent arrangements for creating and adding information have not been well communicated to patients or clinicians; important components have not yet been completed; maintaining security is a serious challenge. The DCR systems are to replace local IT systems across the NHS, but the report points to delays in trials and implementation, difficulty in establishing either the level of information sharing that will be possible, or how sophisticated local IT applications will be. There has also been a lack of local involvement in delivering the project, with hospitals often left out of negotiations between Connecting for Health (the body delivering NPfIT) and suppliers, leading to a lack of enthusiasm for deploying the systems. The Committee recommends Connecting for Health focuses on setting and ensuring compliance with technical and clinical standards for NHS IT systems, allowing local users the final say over which system is procured and how it is implemented. The report points to some notable successes too: agreement on a universal coding language for the NHS, and a single unique patient identifier, the NHS number; and the potential for the SUS and health research is significant.

Download or read book Retooling for an Aging America written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2008-08-27 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the first of the nation's 78 million baby boomers begin reaching age 65 in 2011, they will face a health care workforce that is too small and woefully unprepared to meet their specific health needs. Retooling for an Aging America calls for bold initiatives starting immediately to train all health care providers in the basics of geriatric care and to prepare family members and other informal caregivers, who currently receive little or no training in how to tend to their aging loved ones. The book also recommends that Medicare, Medicaid, and other health plans pay higher rates to boost recruitment and retention of geriatric specialists and care aides. Educators and health professional groups can use Retooling for an Aging America to institute or increase formal education and training in geriatrics. Consumer groups can use the book to advocate for improving the care for older adults. Health care professional and occupational groups can use it to improve the quality of health care jobs.

This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.
