Project: “Implementation of Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems”
Project Overview
The growth in technology has seen the inception of healthcare informatics whereby hospitals are required to utilize software systems to “facilitate workflow and improve the quality of patient care and patient safety” (Chang & Choi, 2016). Following the enactment of Affordable Care Act in 2010, the demand for healthcare services has increased drastically. Consequently, hospitals across United States serve a huge number of patients in a single day –hence making it hard for healthcare providers, clinical staff, and physicians to handle patients’ medical records manually.
Considerably, some level or organization is required in order to facilitate process of documentation and easy retrieval of patient records. Acquisition and implementation of a EMR system helps to capture, manage, and retrieve patient data like demographic information, lab results, medical history, among others with a single click. According to Coleman et al. (2015), “a strong EMR system can effectively acquire and centralize vital patient information” –something that is effective and efficient service delivery.
Thus, this project involves the process acquiring and implementing EMR to facilitate workflow and enhance service delivery in hospitals.
Synopsis
The project success is entirely anchored on proper “planning and management” of the activities and processes involved (Serra & Kunc, 2015). As a course, project management has a number of objectives which must be fulfilled and this project is fully aligned those objectives. First, there is need to ensure that projects are aligned to the organizational strategy and hence, this project is in line with the need to provide quality care to patients. The project plan will involve the process of creating a WBS that will act as a point of reference as far as project planning and control is concerned. Developing a network diagram for the project is also key in managing this project. Cost and time estimation is a key element of this project is essential in ensuring that the implementation team works within the required timeframe and budget. Values and risk analysis also forms is a key element of project plan to ensure that its implementation does not result into losses. The acquisition of high performing team is critical in ensuring that the necessary knowledge, skills, and expertise is acquired to spearhead the implementation process. Understanding procurement process is necessary in order to acquire all the relevant materials and equipment to facilitate the installation and maintenance of EMR. Finally, assessment and evaluation of the project is essential to ensure that it meets the required standards (Clarizen, 2018).

Blockchain technology is a cryptography technology that keeps large records of data. Blocks of records are linked together as a transaction data. By use of open
distributed ledger, transactions engaged in between parties are stored efficiently and in a verifiable and permanent way. It records transactions across many
computers and thus the records involved cannot be interfered with or altered (Crosby, 2016). Various techniques has been used in the storage of data however, there
have been various challenges on the security measures and storage of large amounts of data. Therefore, with blockchain technology we can be able to store
large amount of data in various different locations closely linked together and safely stored without alteration. This technology is applicable in various fields which
includes data collection, management and analysis. However, this is a new technology and IT staff will need training in order to gain more understanding on the
use of blockchain together with improvising it in their various organizations and its applications in order to attain maximum advantage. Healthcare sector looks
forward to a great transition over its services using blockchain technology. This technology has a great impact in the healthcare sector in various fields. We will look on
its impact on how it monitors health together with the security of the patients’ records and data. I ...
This Manual of Procedures (MOP) was developed to assist and align the efforts in implementing AMS programs in all (Level I, II, and III) hospitals across the country. It seeks to serve as a guide to individual hospitals in the design and establishment of local AMS programs while providing a framework for national-level action and commitment.
Recommendations within this document are, as far as possible, based on review of published literature on strategies that have shown to be effective. Consultation with key members (Infectious Diseases physicians, clinical pharmacists, and Infection Control nurses) from eight (8) pilot hospitals as well as the National Antibiotic Guidelines Committee (NAGCom), other national Infectious Diseases societies and relevant DOH offices were undertaken to obtain a consensus opinion and ensure that this MOP is practical and feasible.
All attempts to consider the context of local culture and practices have been taken in the creation of this MOP. Nonetheless, we have chosen to only define core aspects of the national AMS program without being overly prescriptive. Hospitals are strongly encouraged to adapt this MOP to their individual setting in order to maximize its effectiveness, including reduce barriers to implementation and encourage shared ownership towards the goal of AMS.

Feeding plate for a newborn with Cleft Palate.pptxSatvikaPrasad
A feeding plate is a prosthetic device used for newborns with a cleft palate to assist in feeding and improve nutrition intake. From a prosthodontic perspective, this plate acts as a barrier between the oral and nasal cavities, facilitating effective sucking and swallowing by providing a more normal anatomical structure. It helps to prevent milk from entering the nasal passage, thereby reducing the risk of aspiration and enhancing the infant's ability to feed efficiently. The feeding plate also aids in the development of the oral muscles and can contribute to better growth and weight gain. Its custom fabrication and proper fitting by a prosthodontist are crucial for ensuring comfort and functionality, as well as for minimizing potential complications. Early intervention with a feeding plate can significantly improve the quality of life for both the infant and the parents.

Definition
Use standardized written case definitions to
ensure precise surveillance. Where available
and applicable, use previously published,
validated definitions.
For accurate and valid comparisons of data,
use the same definitions over time.

Collection
Know your population to determine which
subset requires targeting
Assess your capability to identify your method
of data collection
Data Management
Combine only homogenous data
– Always qualify and describe your data source
– May apply risk stratification to ensure homogeneity
Comparisons are valid only if all contributors
to the data have:
– used the same surveillance intensity
– used similar data collection methods
– applied the same surveillance definitions
– addressed differences in populations/case mix
– stratified data as appropriate
9. 9
Data Management
Note that rates can be accurate and
consistent but still not useful or
interpretable if the numerator is too
small (infrequent event) or the
denominator is of inappropriate size
(usually too small).
Communication
Timely
Simple and understandable
Relayed to the relevant persons

5. Objective/Priority Based Surveillance
Philippine Hospital Infection Control Society, Inc.
13. 13
1. Hospital-Wide Surveillance
(TRADITIONAL)
Advantage
MOST comprehensive
method
collects data on all
infection, sites, units
establishes baseline
infection rates
recognizes outbreaks
early
identifies clusters
increase visibility of
infection control
professional (ICP)
Disadvantage
expensive, labor intensive
labor , time-consuming,
yields excessive data
leaves little time to
analyze data and initiate
changes (no definite
management objective)
detects infections that can
not be prevented
Overall infection rate not
valid for interhospital
comparison
2. Limited Periodic Surveillance
Advantage
increases efficiency of
surveillance
liberates ICP to perform
other activities
utilized resources more
effectively
reduces time spent
doing surveillance by
45%
Disadvantage
provides data only
during periods in which
surveillance is
conducted
may miss cluster or
outbreaks during
nonsurveyed periods
14. 14
3. PREVALENCE
SURVEILLANCE
ADVANTAGE
documents nosocomial
infection trends identifies
risk factors
relatively quick and
inexpensive
identifies areas that need
additional surveillance
DISADVANTAGE
data collection may be
tedious
must collect data in short
time period
data are restricted to a
specified time period
cannot compare
prevalence rate with
incidence rates
few studies on prevalence
rates published
may miss clusters or
outbreaks
4. Targeted Surveillance
Advantage
focus on patient at risks; on infections
with known control measures to reduce
infection risk
concentrates limited resources on high-
risk areas
can determine valid denominator
Philippine Hospital Infection Control Society, Inc.
15. 15
4. Targeted Surveillance
Advantage
requires less personnel and
liberates ICP to perform other
activities
increases efficiency of surveillance
flexible - can be mixed with other
methods
Philippine Hospital Infection Control Society, Inc.
4. Targeted Surveillance
Disadvantage
no baseline rates in other units
collects data only for targeted
patients at risk
can miss clusters or outbreaks in
nonsurveyed areas or populations
Philippine Hospital Infection Control Society, Inc.
16. 16
4. Targeted Surveillance :
ROTATING
Advantage
less expensive
less time-consuming
less personnel
all areas of hospital
surveyed
Disadvantage
can miss clusters of
infection
Philippine Hospital Infection Control Society, Inc.
Objective / Priority Based
Surveillance
Advantage
adaptable to
hospital with special
interest and
resources
focuses on specific
problems of the
individual institution
Disadvantage
no baseline rates of
