The document discusses the electronic medical record (EMR) and some of the challenges to its adoption. An EMR is an information system that captures a patient's health data from multiple providers and visits that can be accessed by authorized healthcare professionals. Some key challenges to EMR adoption include a lack of standard terminologies, privacy and security concerns, resistance from healthcare providers, and issues with interoperability between different systems. Addressing factors like developing common standards, strengthening data protection laws, providing training and technical support, and involving end-users in design can help overcome barriers to implementing EMRs.
This document provides a timeline of the history of electronic health records (EHR) from the 1960s to the present. Some of the key events include the development of one of the earliest clinical data management systems in the 1960s, the shift to computer-based medical indexing in 1965, the introduction of the problem-oriented medical record in the late 1960s, the initiation of the Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VistA) in the early 1970s, the development of the first electronic medical record system in 1972, and the passage of regulations like HIPAA in 1996 and HITECH in 2009 that promoted the adoption of EHRs.
The Transition from Paper to Electronic RecordsMatthew Kim
A presentation depicting the history, selection criteria, implementation process and market share among various electronic health record (EHR) vendors.
An electronic health record (EHR) is a digital version of a patient's paper medical chart. An EHR contains the patient's medical history, diagnoses, medications, allergies, immunizations, lab tests, exams, photos, and more. EHRs allow authorized healthcare providers to securely access a patient's information electronically. This improves care coordination and makes health information instantly available across different healthcare organizations. EHR adoption among US doctors has increased in recent years due to federal incentives that aim to improve patient care through "Meaningful Use" of certified EHR systems.

Health Management Information System in Ethiopia: Who Owns the HMISMEASURE Evaluation
The document discusses the Health Management Information System (HMIS) in Ethiopia. It describes the purpose and functions of HMIS, including routinely generating health information to support decision making. It explains that various institutions, such as health extension workers and regional health bureaus, carry out different HMIS functions. The document argues that regional health bureaus should take ownership of HMIS for full implementation and sustainability. It provides an example of how the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples' Region of Ethiopia developed regional ownership of HMIS over two years through training and establishing electronic data systems.
The document discusses an electronic health record (EHR) system that aims to provide a comprehensive lifetime medical record for patients. It describes the key components of an EHR including demographics, medical history, examinations, investigations, diagnoses, treatments, and the ability to view trends over time. The EHR aims to store data in a structured way for analysis while maintaining usability.
The document discusses hospital information management and hospital information systems. It defines key terms like hospital, information, health information management. It describes the objectives of health information management as acquiring, analyzing and protecting medical information to provide quality patient care. It also discusses how information systems can streamline hospital operations and increase efficiency.
Health information systems (HIS) allow for the optimization of healthcare information acquisition, storage, retrieval, and usage. Key advantages of HIS include centralized data access across locations, increased efficiency through easy access to patient records and test results, improved security and confidentiality of patient data, increased storage capabilities, and improved accuracy through automated flagging of abnormal test results. However, HIS implementation presents disadvantages as well, most notably very high upfront and ongoing costs. Learning new systems also presents a learning curve challenge for some. On balance, the advantages of data access, efficiency, and patient care improvements provided by HIS are worth the costs.
Whether the designation is electronic
medical records (EMR) or electronic
health records (EHR), there is widespread
consensus that the costs and difficulties
associated with system adoption are surpassed
by the benefits to be gained by all stakeholders. In
addition to providing more efficient and cost-effective
care delivery workflows, EHRs offer opportunities
to standardize care delivery processes, reduce
medical errors, and speed reimbursements.

I will participate in the assessment of the scenario system in throughout the project. The scenario includes the hospital that is implementing the new unified as well as the Ambulatory EHR (Electronic Health Record) system that enhances the documentation of patient care. The purpose of the paper is explaining the selected scenario one, explanation of the reasons for selecting it, and summarizing of the research findings on the similar HIT implementations. More so, there is a description of the evaluation viewpoint, and goal guiding the assessment plan and same rationale.
HIT System Selected
The new system to be implemented has various modules that contain interdisciplinary assessment forms, medical notes, and clinical decision support where their documentation is guaranteed. The implementation of the unified system will enhance improved performance of the hospital in several departments. The new EHR system becomes of great importance to the hospital since there is a reduction of medical errors, reduction of the rate of the safety events of each patient, improving the quality of healthcare, deterrence of sentinel events, reduced patients readmissions as well as impact spending. Another reason for choosing the scenario is that the new system will enhance while fulfilling the requirements of meaningful use as stipulated in the HITECH (Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health) Act. Therefore, the need for evaluation regarding the EHR implementation becomes paramount since it will help to identify the associated risks while adjusting the modules required when offering the medication services to the patients (Lanham, Leykum & McDaniel, 2012).

Electronic Health Record: “An electronic record of health-related information on an individual that conforms to nationally recognized interoperability standards and that can be created, managed and consulted by authorized clinicians and staff across more than one healthcare organization”
While the “experts” can debate the difference between EHR and EMR, we will not and will stick with EHR throughout the textbook and slides
Definition
Paper records are severely limited: less legible, more difficult to retrieve, store and share and unstructured data. Also, electronic records less likely to be missing and available 24/7 from multiple locations. Paper records do not permit clinical decision support
Need for improved efficiency and productivity: clinicians are more productive if charts are available and retrieval of results is faster. EHR access from home while on call helps productivity
Quality of care and patient safety: the factors already described in last two bullets plus clinical decision support, quality reports and secure messaging as part of an EHR
Why do we need EHRs?
Public expectations: EHRs may increase patient satisfaction through faster results, messaging, patient portals, electronic patient education, e-prescribing and online scheduling
Governmental expectations: federal government considers EHR to be transformational and hence why they support reimbursement for u.
It used to be a major problem to share data related to any user of a health and social care organization to another organization of the same field previously.

The document also notes that EHRs can increase safety through features like computerized physician order entry and electronic medication administration. Finally, it emphasizes that proper training and support are essential to a successful EHR transition.
The Electronic Health Record ( Ehr ) SystemAlexis Naranjo
The document discusses the electronic health record (EHR) system. It explains that an EHR is a digital version of a patient's medical history that contains their personal details, health concerns, medical histories, test results, medications, and more. The EHR allows quick access to patient information for medical practitioners and facilitates improved care. It also assists clinicians in scheduling and supports evidence-based decision making. However, successful implementation of an EHR system depends on technical, behavioral, and management factors.
IT trends in the US healthcare sector are driven by incentives to cut costs while improving care integration. Spending on healthcare IT is projected to grow from $54 billion in 2010 to $80 billion in 2017. Emerging technologies like mobile health, bring your own device (BYOD), big data analytics, and interoperable electronic health records aim to enhance care delivery and lower costs. Adoption of standards like ICD-10, HL7, and meaningful use incentives also promote IT-enabled transformation across providers, payers, and life sciences organizations.

AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
