Ensuring Data IntegrityIn Health Information Exchange
Ensuring Data Integrity
In Health Information Exchange
Inaccurate health information may adversely affect the quality of an individual’s
healthcare, insurance, and employability. As computerization of health information
continues and the scope of organizational exchange of health information widens into
health information exchanges (HIEs), maintaining the integrity and completeness of
health data is paramount.
The overarching goal of HIEs is to allow authorized users to quickly and accurately
exchange health information to enhance patient safety and improve efficiency.
Achieving this goal is dependent on the ability to link (match) multiple, disparate
records relating to a single individual.
A 2008 RAND report, “Identity Crisis: An Examination of the Costs and Benefits of a
Unique Patient Identifier for the US Health Care System,” noted that avoiding adverse
drug events, which are often the result of incomplete linking information about a
patient’s medications or allergies, could save the healthcare system in the US about
$4.5 billion per year.1 This report also points out that on average an 8 percent duplicate
record rate existed in the master patient index (MPI) databases studied. The average
duplicate record rate increased to 9.4 percent in MPI databases with more than 1 million
records. Additionally, the report identified that the duplicate record rates of the enterprise
master patient/person index (EMPI) databases studied were as high as 39.1 percent.
High duplicate record rates within EMPI databases are commonly the result of loading
unresolved duplicate records from contributing MPI files. EMPI systems that leverage
advanced matching algorithms are designed to automatically link records from multiple
systems if there is only one existing viable matching record. If the EMPI system identifies
two or more viable matching records when loading a patient record, as is the case when
the EMPI contains unresolved duplicate record sets, it must create a new patient record
and flag it as an unresolved duplicate record set to be manually reviewed and resolved.
Therefore, if care is not taken to resolve the existing EMPI duplicate records, the duplicate
rate in an EMPI can significantly grow as additional MPI files are added.
Patient identity integrity is the accuracy, quality, and completeness of demographic data
attached to or associated with an individual patient. This includes the accuracy and
quality of the data as it relates to the individual, as well as the correctness of the linking
or matching of all existing records for that individual within and across information

Solution
Health information management (HIM) is information management applied to health and health
care. It is the practice of acquiring, analyzing and protecting digital and traditional medical
information vital to providing quality patient care. With the widespread computerization of
health records, traditional (paper-based) records are being replaced with electronic health records
(EHRs). The tools of health informatics and health information technology are continually
improving to bring greater efficiency to information management in the health care sector. Both
hospital information systems and health human resources information systems (HRHIS) are
common implementations of HIM.
Paper-based records have been in existence for centuries* and their gradual replacement by
computer-based records has been slowly underway for over twenty years in western healthcare
systems. Computerised information systems have not achieved the same degree of penetration in
healthcare as that seen in other sectors such as finance, transport and the manufacturing and retail
industries. Further, deployment has varied greatly from country to country and from speciality to
specialty and in may cases has revolved around local systems designed for local use.
In record time and at an unprecedented pace, the electronic health record (EHR) has spurred a
revolutionary change in HIM that\'s modifying the profession as each day passes.EHRs and
accompanying technology like health information exchange, computer-assisted coding, voice
recognition software, and patient portals-along with revamped government quality and EHR
incentive programs-are modifying many aspects of HIM.
An information system consists of four interrelated components—data, information technology,
process, and users.14 HIM professionals’ traditional job roles make them the experts in
managing data and processes in an information system. With the digitizing of information
systems in healthcare organizations, the roles of HIM professionals have expanded into
information technology (IT) and user support, which usually are the functions of IT supporting
services. HIM professionals’ training and experience in the intersection of clinical and
management sciences as well as their knowledge about data quality equip them with the
capability to maintain the integrity and accessibility of health information, although they may not

Portia Grant is an employee who is paid monthly. For the month of January of the current year,
she earned a total of $8,260. The FICA tax for social security is 6.2% of the first $118,500
earned each calendar year and the FICA tax rate for Medicare is 1.45% of all earnings. The
FUTA tax rate of 0.6% and the SUTA tax rate of 5.4% are applied to the first $7,000 of an
employee’s pay. The amount of federal income tax withheld from her earnings was $1,325.17.
What is the total amount of taxes withheld from the Portia’s earnings? (Round your intermediate
calculations to two decimal places.)
A- $3,097.17
B- $2,443.21
C- $1,957.06
D- $1,722.00
E- $1,495.36
Solution
The Answer is “C- $1,957.06”
Total amount of taxes withheld from the Portia’s earnings = $1957.06
Total amount of taxes withheld = Federal Income Tax + FICA tax for social security + FICA tax
rate for Medicare
= $1,325.17 + [ $8,260 x 6.20%] + [$8,260 x 0.60%]
= $1,325.17 + 512.12 + 119.77
= $1,957.06.

We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.REGULATION FOR COMBINATION PRODUCTS AND MEDICAL DEVICES.pptx

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
