Health care organizations need an efficient way to process and share care delivery information to increase productivity, deliver better quality care, save money and ensure compliance.
The document discusses several key points about electronic health records (EHRs):
1) Currently, none of the EHR vendors meet federal requirements because their systems are not interoperable between each other.
2) For EHRs to have value, they must be interconnected and allow information to be shared between different providers and organizations through regional and national health information networks.
3) A network of interconnected EHRs has much higher value than individual systems that are not connected.
MACH needs an EMR system that integrates internal and external lab info, physical order entry, provider documentation, x-ray results, and billing/finance info across its 3 practices and 24 staff members. The EMR must comply with HIPAA, ARRA, and CCHIT requirements. MACH's mission is to be the premier healthcare provider in the area through efficient, effective, and innovative quality care. An EMR implementation will help achieve this through improved processes, access to incentives, and an improved brand. MACH will buy a vendor-based EMR package for quicker implementation over building its own system, which is not its core competency.

ABC health care centre is one of the top health care centres in San Francisco, California that provides medical assistance and health related knowledge to its patients. The health care centre has a total of 27 branches in the country with an overall staff of 350 doctors and 1000 other employees. The health centre excels in providing medical assistance to patients and has been ranked as number 1 health care centre in terms of services by the government organization. On an average, the health care centre serves a total of 5,500 patients in a single month throughout the country. The health care centre is experiencing a growth in its business recently and its manual methods of information storage are becoming obsolete and difficult to manage. Therefore, the management has realized that there is an urgent need to implement a digital system that can resolve the problems of the administration.
Data of the Health Care Centre
ABC health care centre has loads of data to take care of on regular basis. The list of information that is to be stored on the new system is given below:
· Patient details
· Patient medical history
· Appointments
· Inventory
· Financial management
· Human resource management
· Employee information
The new system
The new system appropriate for the ABC health care centre has been identified i.e. an ERP business suite along with a centralized data storage server. ERP business suites are software that integrate various operational modules in one software and manage all the working and operation of an organisation in it. The ERP business suite will help the health care centre to store all the information listed above using a single software. A centralized storage server, along with an ERP business suite, will allow the ABC health care centre to store all the information & data and will allow the employees to access the data from anywhere in the organisation after providing proper authentication on the server. (Stango, 2013)
The advantages of the chosen digital system to the health care system are:
· It will make creating, storage and accessing of data easier.
· It will save the health care organisation a lot of money as it will have to buy only one software to manage all its operation.
· ERP software are flexible and can be tailored according to the need of the company. This will allow the health care organisation to get a professionally developed software that will be in accordance of the health care’s needs.
· ERP software are highly user friendly. This will allow the company to reduce its overall cost of implementation as there will be no requirement for professional staff to operate the new system.
· ERP software are widely used because of their security measure that makes compromising of information and data impossible.
· The employees of the health care centre can undergo training, under hired professionals, to get introduced to the new syst ...

The Assessment is designed because our world has been radically transformed by digital technology – smart phones, tablets, and web-enabled devices have transformed our daily lives and the way we communicate. Medicine is an information-rich enterprise. A greater and more seamless flow of information within a digital health care infrastructure, created by electronic health records (EHRs), encompasses and leverages digital progress and can transform the way care is delivered and compensated. With EHRs, information is available whenever and wherever it is needed.
The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, a component of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, represents the Nation’s first substantial commitment of Federal resources to support the widespread adoption of EHRs. As of August 2012, 54 percent of the Medicare- and Medicaid-eligible professionals had registered for the
meaningful use incentive program
.
The paper will be 8 pages long. More information and due date will provide in the assignments link.
ASSIGNMENT GUIDELINES (2 points /10%):
The
assessment
should look at the current state of the practice:
Are administrative processes organized, efficient, and well documented?
Are clinical workflows efficient, clearly mapped out, and understood by all staff?
Are data collection and reporting processes well established and documented?
Are staff members computer literate and comfortable with information technology?
Does the practice have access to
high-speed internet connectivity
?
Does the practice have access to the financial capital required to purchase new or additional hardware?
Are there clinical priorities or needs that should be addressed?
Does the practice have specialty specific requirements?
Through the Regional Extension Centers (RECs), we’ve learned that these questions and assessment tools provide a good understanding of the current state of the practice and can help identify key goals for improvement. Often, these goals relate to patient quality, patient satisfaction, practice productivity and efficiency, improved quality of work environment, and most important to the overall goal – improved health care.
EACH PAPER SHOULD INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:
1.
Introduction (5 points / 25%)
Offer an abstract that provide a brief outlook of the proposal and explaining in your own words what is meant by a Electronic H.
The document discusses an electronic medical records (EMR) software solution called TIER® provided by Sequest. It highlights key features of the TIER® platform such as customization capabilities, integration of clinical and financial data, billing module automation, and standards-based interoperability. It also emphasizes how TIER® can help improve patient safety, care quality, and reduce medical errors through functionality like CPOE and MAR.
The document discusses how the HITECH Act and meaningful use requirements will impact the future of healthcare technology management by requiring hospitals and providers to adopt and meaningfully use electronic health records in order to receive incentive payments, which aims to improve quality, safety and efficiency and reduce costs through greater health information exchange and use of clinical decision support. It also outlines the stages of meaningful use and quality measures that must be met, as well as considerations for ensuring compliance and leveraging best practices to help transition systems and processes under the new health IT requirements.

The presenter makes no recommendations as to an individual physician’s participation or non-participation with any specific health plans, insurance company or payer. Each physician is urged to give due and proper consideration to their individual practice needs and act independently regardless of the actions or non-action of other physicians.
This document provides guidance on coordination of benefits and responding to claim denials related to other insurance being primary. It discusses determining primary vs secondary coverage between different types of insurance plans. It emphasizes the importance of accurately verifying a patient's insurance coverage at the time of registration to avoid denials and issues with coordination of benefits later. It also provides sample language to respond to payers demanding refunds due to other insurance not being billed first.

This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is summary of hypertension -
Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a serious medical condition that occurs when blood pressure in the body's arteries is consistently too high. Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of blood vessels as the heart pumps it. Hypertension can increase the risk of heart disease, brain disease, kidney disease, and premature death.

This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is the summary of hypotension:
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is when the pressure of blood circulating in the body is lower than normal or expected. It's only a problem if it negatively impacts the body and causes symptoms. Normal blood pressure is usually between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg, but pressures below 90/60 are generally considered hypotensive.

2. Successful EHR Implementation
• Health care organizations need an efficient way to
process and share care delivery information to
increase productivity, deliver better quality care, save
money and ensure compliance.
• Properly implemented EHR’s can deliver on this
promise and provide most benefits associated with
adopting digital technology.
3. • It comes as no surprise that technology continues to
be an increasingly prominent part of our
society. Technological advancement isn’t going
anywhere, but does this mean your organization
needs it?
• Determining whether or not your practice is ready
for EHR is the first step toward reaping all the
benefits that information technology provides.
Are you ready?
4. Are you ready?
• Get together with business leaders, managers, and
other key stake holders to determine, infrastructure,
people, technology and investment challenges that
comes with this change.
• Carefully consider whether or not implementing an
EHR would be a step toward reaching or exceeding
your business goals and strategy.
5. Be honest about your current status
• Before implementing the new system, you must have
a clear understanding of where you and your team
stand.
• Do you have a proper infrastructure (internet,
computers, printers, scanners etc.)? Does your team
run efficiently?
• Are there any clinical or administrative process that
are creating bottleneck.
6. Be honest about your current status
• How information , and documentation are currently
organized and processed? Is the staff proficient with
computers?
• Are they willing and able to learn? These are
important questions to assess your readiness for a
successful EHR implementation. Be sure to be
critical, honest, and true; inaccurate assessments will
only hinder your team’s progress.
