Despite the growing use of electronic health records (EHRs) and health information exchange (HIE) technologies, providers and payers still face challenges with regard to accessing all the information known about a given patient or member. Patient health information can be trapped in siloed healthcare information systems, paper-based documents and processes, or non-machine-readable documents. An integrated view of patient information improves the experience of clinicians by enabling them to better serve their patients, which in turn leads to better outcomes. The ability to create comprehensive patient-centric records is crucial for improving not only quality of care but also patient safety.

Health information technology (Health IT) is an area of information technology that includes the design, development, creation, use and maintenance of information systems for the healthcare industry. Automated and compatible healthcare information systems will continue to improve healthcare and healthcare, reduce costs, increase efficiency, reduce errors and increase patient satisfaction, and optimize cost recovery for outpatient and inpatient health care providers.
Providers need to move towards real-time analytics that have become critical to demonstrate their quality of care, as reimbursement by government programs can be contingent upon how providers are measured in “Quality of Care”. For example, the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) of 2015, also called the Permanent Doc Fix, changes the way Medicare doctors are reimbursed with the implementation of a merit based incentive. The performance-based pressure is huge, which makes it imperative that every provider consider technology solutions. Read more at https://www.solix.com/solutions/data-driven-solutions/healthcare/

Digitization is bringing a sea change to a U.S. healthcare industry already facing waves of uncertainty. By taking the right steps, this can be a major opportunity for industry players.
Forecasting the future of any industry is difficult, none more so right now than healthcare in the United States. There are countless reasons why healthcare will look different in the near future, not least of which being the country's movement toward national coverage. However, digital transformation—the cumulative change that comes when digital technologies are introduced wholesale into an established industry—is poised to have an even bigger impact. For the U.S. healthcare industry, digital technology will be transformational, cutting healthcare delivery costs, eliminating errors through improved electronic medical records, and establishing routinized, evidence-based approaches to treatment.
Digital forces are pulling at the industry and significantly altering services, products, innovation, delivery, and remuneration (see figure). There are digitally integrated healthcare providers, digital medical devices and technologies, and digital delivery and monitoring of home healthcare. In addition, new ideas are emanating from developing markets, agile competitors are embracing technology, and a digital-friendly federal administration is pushing innovation. And don't forget the digital consumer who is used to digital banking, digital retailing, and digital education, and expects digital healthcare.

Evolution of Health Care Paper and Timeline
There are specific trends from manual to electronic operations in the health care facilities, healthcare providers and similar businesses operators. The evolution has taken place within the health care providers, administrative data and the insurance plans as well. The health care industries have automated several procedures such as the supply of drugs and accurate record keeping (Loker 2012). Electronic health care uses sophisticated technology unlike the manual one; this advanced technology has been applied in the provision of health care all over the world hence saving both time and cost It has also widened and perfected the scope of operation.
How has this change impacted the quality of care?
The change to electronic medical records has proven to be successful and helpful in providing quality patient care. Some ways that it has helped is improving patient care, increasing patient participation, improved care coordination, improved diagnostic and patient outcomes, and practice efficiencies and cost savings. (HealthIT.gov). Patients are able to be more involved in the patient care process and are able to access to their records which was not possible in the past. The transporting of records from one physician to another is much quicker now because it can be done by a click of a button. When needing to send a patient to a specialist or when getting an authorization for a patient’s recommended treatment can be done a lot quicker as well. This is speeding up the process in being able to provide quick and quality care so the patient does not need to wait as long as they would have had to in the past.

(HealthIT.gov)
Electronic medical records has proven to be a good thing for both the medical provider as well as the patient and it has decreased the wait times to results or any potential errors and enhanced patient care.
Did Societal beliefs and values influence this change? Why or why not?
The health care delivery system in our country has its roots in the beliefs and values of the people (Shi & Singh, 2012). The firm belief in technological innovations leads to higher expectations of people, which has fueled the growth in technological innovations. The culture of individualism has led the medical practice to keep the individual healthy. Patients tend to evaluate the institutions by their acquisition of advanced technology. The expectation of Americans on what technology can do to cure illness is higher compared to the Canadians and Germans (Shi & Singh, 2012, p. 168). The societal beliefs and values impact not only the structure of health care delivery but also the training of health care providers.
The use of EHRs provided access to patients’ records on demand and have improved the quality of health care (Shi & Singh, 2012). Although the EHRs were to improve the quality of health care delivery, many ...

Pg2 Beginning in 1991, the IOM (which stands for the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies) sponsored studies and created reports that led the way toward the concepts we have in place today for electronic health records. Originally, the IOM called them computer-based patient records.1 During their evolution, the EHR have had many other names, including electronic medical records, computerized medical records, longitudinal patient records, and electronic charts. All of these names referred to essentially the same thing, which in 2003, the IOM renamed as the electronic health records, or EHR.
Note: EHR
The acronym EHR is commonly used as shorthand for Electronic Health Records, and will be used in the remainder of this book.
Institute of Medicine (IOM)
The IOM report2 put forth a set of eight core functions that an EHR should be capable of performing:
Health information and data
This function provides a defined data set that includes such items as medical and nursing diagnoses, a medication list, allergies, demographics, clinical narratives, and laboratory test results. Further, it provides improved access to information needed by care providers when they need it.
Result management
Computerized results can be accessed more easily (than paper reports) by the provider at the time and place they are needed.
· Reduced lag time allows for quicker recognition and treatment of medical problems.
· The automated display of previous test results makes it possible to reduce redundant and additional testing.
· Having electronic results can allow for better interpretation and for easier detection of abnormalities, thereby ensuring appropriate follow-up.
· Access to electronic consults and patient consents can establish critical links and improve care coordination among multiple providers, as well as between provider and patient
Order management
Computerized provider order entry (CPOE) systems can improve workflow processes by eliminating lost orders and ambiguities caused by illegible handwriting, generating related orders automatically, monitoring for duplicate orders, and reducing the time required to fill orders.
· CPOE systems for medications reduce the number of errors in medication dose and frequency, drug allergies, and drug–drug interactions.
· The use of CPOE, in conjunction with an EHR, also improves clinician productivity.
Decision Support
Computerized decision support systems include prevention, prescribing of drugs, diagnosis and management, and detection of adverse events and disease outbreaks.
· Computer reminders and prompts improve preventive practices in areas such as vaccinations, breast cancer screening, colorectal screening, and cardiovascular risk reduction.
Electronic communication and connectivity
Electronic communication among care partners can enhance patient safety and quality of care, especially for patients who have multiple providers in multiple settings that must coordinate care plans.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.

IDC HEALTH INSIGHTS OPINION
Despite the growing use of electronic health records (EHRs) and health
information exchange (HIE) technologies, providers and payers still
face challenges with regard to accessing all the information known
about a given patient or member. Patient health information can be
trapped in siloed healthcare information systems, paper-based
documents and processes, or non-machine-readable documents. An
integrated view of patient information improves the experience of
clinicians by enabling them to better serve their patients, which in turn
leads to better outcomes. The ability to create comprehensive patientcentric records is crucial for improving not only quality of care but also
patient safety. An incomplete view of a patient's health record can be
disastrous if critical information, such as medication history, lab results,
known allergies, or blood type, is missing from the patient record; 18%
of medical errors are the result of inadequate availability of patient
information. Key findings of this white paper include the following:
● There is an important distinction to be made between a consumer's
patient record or electronic medical record (EMR), which is owned
by a single provider, and an integrated patient record (IPR), which
combines structured and unstructured data from disparate sources
across the enterprise and beyond to the medical trading area. An
integrated patient record provides clinicians with a longitudinal
view of the care their patients received across the continuum of
care and includes health information from multiple healthcare IT
(HIT) systems managed by various stakeholders.
● The stakeholder landscape is evolving as a result of health reform
and other long-standing drivers in healthcare. New care delivery
and reimbursement models, such as accountable care organizations
(ACOs) and patient-centered medical homes, will require
healthcare organizations to transform how they deliver care. A
shift from fee-for-service to value-based reimbursement will place
greater emphasis on quality and preventive care, requiring access
to comprehensive patient health records.
