Download or read book Registries for Evaluating Patient Outcomes written by Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality/AHRQ and published by Government Printing Office. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This User’s Guide is intended to support the design, implementation, analysis, interpretation, and quality evaluation of registries created to increase understanding of patient outcomes. For the purposes of this guide, a patient registry is an organized system that uses observational study methods to collect uniform data (clinical and other) to evaluate specified outcomes for a population defined by a particular disease, condition, or exposure, and that serves one or more predetermined scientific, clinical, or policy purposes. A registry database is a file (or files) derived from the registry. Although registries can serve many purposes, this guide focuses on registries created for one or more of the following purposes: to describe the natural history of disease, to determine clinical effectiveness or cost-effectiveness of health care products and services, to measure or monitor safety and harm, and/or to measure quality of care. Registries are classified according to how their populations are defined. For example, product registries include patients who have been exposed to biopharmaceutical products or medical devices. Health services registries consist of patients who have had a common procedure, clinical encounter, or hospitalization. Disease or condition registries are defined by patients having the same diagnosis, such as cystic fibrosis or heart failure. The User’s Guide was created by researchers affiliated with AHRQ’s Effective Health Care Program, particularly those who participated in AHRQ’s DEcIDE (Developing Evidence to Inform Decisions About Effectiveness) program. Chapters were subject to multiple internal and external independent reviews.
Download or read book Key Capabilities of an Electronic Health Record System written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2003-07-31 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Commissioned by the Department of Health and Human Services, Key Capabilities of an Electronic Health Record System provides guidance on the most significant care delivery-related capabilities of electronic health record (EHR) systems. There is a great deal of interest in both the public and private sectors in encouraging all health care providers to migrate from paper-based health records to a system that stores health information electronically and employs computer-aided decision support systems. In part, this interest is due to a growing recognition that a stronger information technology infrastructure is integral to addressing national concerns such as the need to improve the safety and the quality of health care, rising health care costs, and matters of homeland security related to the health sector. Key Capabilities of an Electronic Health Record System provides a set of basic functionalities that an EHR system must employ to promote patient safety, including detailed patient data (e.g., diagnoses, allergies, laboratory results), as well as decision-support capabilities (e.g., the ability to alert providers to potential drug-drug interactions). The book examines care delivery functions, such as database management and the use of health care data standards to better advance the safety, quality, and efficiency of health care in the United States.

Download or read book Role of Compatibility Views on Physician Adoption of Electronic Health Record Systems written by Jeanne Hermann-Petrin and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Use of electronic health record (EHR) systems has become one of the most important activities in healthcare in the United States. This research seeks to give further explication to physicians’ electronic health record system adoption decisions. Hypotheses are presented relating disaggregated compatibility constructs, perceived usefulness, and perceived ease of use in the physicians’ EHR system adoption decision. Hypotheses are also presented for moderation of these relationships by personal innovativeness in the domain of information technology. The research comes full circle with a qualitative exploration of physicians’ experiences in using electronic health record systems. Physician’s perceived compatibility with existing work practices, perceived compatibility with prior experience, and perceived compatibility with values were shown to be antecedents to both perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. These findings replicate previous work but were unable to demonstrate moderation of these relationships by personal innovativeness in the domain of information technology. Additionally, the relationships between use and both perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use were not significant. The descriptive qualitative study was conducted to provide further explanation of the lack of significance in these relationships. Several themes were developed to describe the physicians’ lived experience with use of electronic healthcare record systems. These were quality of information, expended time, effects on work life, and values. The qualitatively developed themes were described in relationship to the compatibility constructs. The results provide information to electronic health record system administrators to inform development of user interfaces that allow the physicians to most effectively and efficiently diagnose and treat patients. Further academic work is suggested to evaluate potential correspondence of the themes with existing management information system theories. .
Download or read book Electronic Medical Records written by Neil S. Skolnik and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-10-20 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physician adoption of electronic medical records (EMRs) has become a national priority. It is said that EMRs have the potential to greatly improve patient care, to provide the data needed for more effective population management and quality assurance of both an individual practice’s patients and well as patients of large health care systems, and the potential to create efficiencies that allow physicians to provide this improved care at a far lower cost than at present. There is currently a strong U.S. government push for physicians to adopt EMR technology, with the Obama administration emphasizing the use of EMRs as an important part of the future of health care and urging widespread adoption of this technology by 2014. This timely book for the primary care community offers a concise and easy to read guide for implementing an EMR system. Organized in six sections, this invaluable title details the general state of the EMR landscape, covering the government’s incentive program, promises and pitfalls of EMR technology, issues related to standardization and the range of EMR vendors from which a provider can choose. Importantly, chapter two provides a detailed and highly instructional account of the experiences that a range of primary care providers have had in implementing EMR systems. Chapter three discusses how to effectively choose an EMR system, while chapters four and five cover all of the vital pre-implementation and implementation issues in establishing an EMR system in the primary care environment. Finally, chapter six discusses how to optimize and maintain a new EMR system to achieve the full cost savings desired. Concise, direct, but above all honest in recognizing the challenges in choosing and implementing an electronic health record in primary care, Electronic Medical Records: A Practical Guide for Primary Care has been written with the busy primary care physician in mind.

Download or read book The Computer Based Patient Record written by Committee on Improving the Patient Record and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1997-10-28 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most industries have plunged into data automation, but health care organizations have lagged in moving patients' medical records from paper to computers. In its first edition, this book presented a blueprint for introducing the computer-based patient record (CPR). The revised edition adds new information to the original book. One section describes recent developments, including the creation of a computer-based patient record institute. An international chapter highlights what is new in this still-emerging technology. An expert committee explores the potential of machine-readable CPRs to improve diagnostic and care decisions, provide a database for policymaking, and much more, addressing these key questions: Who uses patient records? What technology is available and what further research is necessary to meet users' needs? What should government, medical organizations, and others do to make the transition to CPRs? The volume also explores such issues as privacy and confidentiality, costs, the need for training, legal barriers to CPRs, and other key topics.

Download or read book Barriers to the Adoption of Electronic Health Records by Physicians in Hospitals written by Tatevik Asulyan and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An electronic health record (EHR) or Electronic Medical Record (EMR), used interchangeably, is a digital version of a patient’s paper chart. EHRs are real-time, patient-centered records that make information available instantly and securely to authorized users. In this paper, CSUN’s “OneSearch” database was used to find peer-reviewed articles to identify barriers to the adoption of EHRs by physicians in hospitals. The adoption of the EHR system varies by hospitals, states, as well as physicians. Factors such as cost, physician resistance, high initial physician time costs, technical challenges, meaningful use, and interoperability were found to create physician resistance towards the adoption of EHRs. Policymakers should take these barriers into consideration that accompany the adoption of the EHR system. Technology is constantly changing and plays a growing role in healthcare delivery. The EHR system varies widely, and for the system to provide of any value, the software will need to be utilized to its full potential.
