Electronic health records allow doctors to digitally store patient information such as symptoms, test results, and medical history. This replaces the traditional paper record-keeping system. Storing records electronically provides advantages like more accurate documentation that is easier for doctors to access and update. It also reduces healthcare costs by enabling evidence-based treatment and easier information sharing between medical professionals. Overall electronic records aim to improve patient care through a more convenient, efficient, and accurate method of record storage and access.
An electronic health record (EHR) is a digital version of a patient's paper medical chart that contains their medical history, diagnoses, medications, tests and test results. EHRs allow authorized healthcare providers to access a patient's information securely and share it with other providers. EHRs streamline workflows for providers, provide clinical decision support tools, and improve quality of care by enabling easy access to patient information. Benefits of EHRs include improved productivity and financial performance through reduced costs, higher quality preventative care and chronic disease management, increased job satisfaction for providers, and better customer satisfaction and continuity of care for patients.
E-health refers to health services and information delivered through the internet and related technologies. It aims to promote health, well-being, and enhance professional practice through using information management and communication technology. E-health is about finding, using, recording, managing, and transmitting health information to support patient care decisions. While technology enables this, e-health is more than just the use of computers and devices. Potential benefits include improved patient safety, communication, efficiency and care coordination through electronic health records. However, concerns include the high costs and training needs, as well as risks to security and privacy of personal health information stored electronically.

EMR (Electronic Medical Record) is computerized legal medical record created in an organization that delivers care such as Hospital or doctor’s clinic. EMR will provide to improve the quality of life by reducing costs. The use of the system will help to centralize the medical information.
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.
Presentation “Harnessing EHRs and Health IT to Achieve Population Health”
Jonathan Weiner, DrPH
Professor Department of Health Policy and Management
Director of Center for Population Health IT
Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore Maryland
Professor Weiner’s presentation will focus on how electronic health records and other e-health tools can be harnessed to move beyond providing medical care for a single patient episode towards the achievement of “population health.” This provocative presentation will offer new conceptual paradigms and will review “big data” opportunities and challenges. The emphasis of the talk will be on how population focused care transformation can be brought about through the integration and application of e-health/EHR systems and claims/MIS systems. The talk will offer examples of analytic tools and methods designed to increase the effectiveness, efficiency and equity of care provided at a geographic community level and to “populations” of consumers enrolled in health plans, ACOs and other integrated delivery systems.
Key goals of presentation:
∙ To offer frameworks and paradigms to better understand how EHRs and other HIT can improve population health
∙ To outline opportunities and challenges for communities, ACOs and other integrated delivery systems
∙ To offer some case studies on the application of health IT to population health
The document discusses electronic health records (EHRs) and their implementation in India. It provides background on EHRs, including their definition, key features, and benefits. It outlines some common challenges to EHR implementation in India, such as a lack of interoperability between systems and healthcare providers. It also discusses the EHR standards that have been developed in India and provides recommendations to improve EHR adoption, such as increasing training for healthcare workers, developing multilingual EHR systems, and building synergy between software developers and clinicians. A case study examines EHR usage across rural healthcare facilities in India and finds opportunities for technology to enhance record keeping and improve the quality and efficiency of care delivery.
PARAS is a solution that helps hospitals improve decision making and efficiency. It can identify patient medical needs, predict chronic illnesses and diseases, and discover preventative drugs. PARAS compiles data to aid healthcare providers in decision making and tracking outcomes, helping hospitals deliver quality care while reducing errors and maximizing efficiency.
Surveys show that 17% of existing EMR users are unhappy with their current vendors, 50% of EHR implementations are to replace previous systems, and only 30% of physicians meet meaningful use requirements. Common reasons for switching EHRs include unsatisfactory support and training, difficulty incorporating with other systems, and needs not being met as planned. Nortec EHR promises easy data migration, optimal return on investment, customization, and dedicated customer support.
EHRs provide several benefits over traditional paper records including giving healthcare providers access to accurate and complete patient health information which enables better care decisions. EHRs allow for quick access to a patient's medical history during emergencies and make it easier to coordinate care for patients with chronic conditions. The goal of health IT is to improve quality and safety of care through a single record containing a patient's complete health history that is accessible by authorized providers. While EMRs contain a patient's records from within a single practice, EHRs include a more comprehensive medical history and allow records to be shared across organizations and providers.
The document evaluates and compares three personal health record (PHR) products: Google Health, HealthFrame, and WebMD. It describes the purpose of PHRs in allowing individuals to collect, track, and share their health information with providers online. The general PHR model and objectives are outlined. Each product is then analyzed based on cost, ease of use, stability, functions, compatibility, development, and technical support. Google Health is free but lacks partnerships and import/export capabilities. HealthFrame charges fees but offers appointment reminders and graphs. WebMD is also free but has limited import options and categories.
The document provides an overview of electronic medical records (EMRs), including their key components and benefits. It discusses how EMRs work, allowing patients to create and access their own medical records electronically from anywhere. Medical information is stored digitally and can be shared securely between providers. EMRs improve care quality by facilitating access to complete patient histories and enabling features like clinical decision support, electronic ordering, and reminders for preventative care. Overall, EMRs increase efficiency, coordination, and safety of healthcare delivery.
The document discusses how health information technology (HIT) such as electronic health records (EHRs), communication technologies, and health information exchanges (HIEs) can improve community health outcomes. EHRs allow providers to better monitor patients, provide more accurate care through features like e-prescribing, and improve outcomes with clinical decision support systems. Communication technologies enhance care for rural and very ill patients. HIEs facilitate information sharing between providers to improve continuity of care and submit data to immunization registries and public health agencies. Overall, the document argues that HIT has great potential to advance community health if these technologies are utilized effectively.
The document discusses the origins and requirements of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, which provides $19.2 billion in incentives for healthcare providers to adopt electronic medical records (EMRs). The act requires EMRs to be certified and demonstrate meaningful use, though these terms are still being defined. While some hospitals have implemented basic EMR functions, full integrated systems have only been adopted by 1.5% of US hospitals. The challenges of implementing complex EMR systems that can exchange and integrate data both within and between healthcare organizations are discussed.
As healthcare reform and transformation advances, providers will seek new ways to engage patients and influence behavior using connected health and will increasingly look for more advanced solutions that are proven to consistently motivate sustained behavioral change. These solutions are referred to as “Patient Portal 2.0.”
The Patient Portal 2.0 that the market requires relies on a host of functions that think outside the confines of Meaningful Use. In order to develop a portal that reaches into a population and makes a difference it is important to understand the purpose of the portal. Taking the necessary time to identify what motivates the intended audience and developing tools that deliver that experience is key to successfully engaging patients.
This paper looks at seven portal features that the market is currently pushing towards.
The document discusses electronic health records (EHR) and the financial incentives provided by the HITECH Act to encourage physicians and hospitals to adopt EHR systems and achieve meaningful use. It outlines the purpose of the incentives, who is eligible, what meaningful use entails, how much payments are and how to qualify. It also addresses frequently asked questions about EHR incentives and requirements.

How to engage patients to use the patient portal to meet meaningful useFast Track Marketing
This document provides tips for engaging patients to use a patient portal. It defines a patient portal as a secure online website for two-way communication between doctors and patients. The portal offers value by helping patients manage their healthcare and access records 24/7. However, many patients do not use the portal due to unclear benefits, confusing interfaces, and unresponsive staff. The document recommends using multiple communication methods like email, brochures, and in-office discussions to educate patients on the portal's benefits. Both new and existing patients should be engaged through strategies like pre-appointment emails and automatic post-visit communications. Clear signage, responsive design, and incentivizing staff can further boost patient portal adoption rates.

Patient safety is a fundamental principle of healthcare. Adverse events can result from problems in various areas of care and improving safety requires a complex, system-wide effort. Ensuring safety involves assessing risks, preventing harm, reporting and analyzing incidents, learning from mistakes, and implementing solutions. Guidelines include proper identification of patients, hand hygiene, medication reconciliation, and fall prevention.
This document discusses 10 key facts about patient safety:
1) Patient safety is a global public health issue recognized by WHO.
2) As many as 1 in 10 patients are harmed while receiving hospital care in developed countries.
3) Developing countries have an even higher risk of patient harm from issues like healthcare-associated infections which are 20 times more common than in developed nations.
4) WHO and its World Alliance for Patient Safety are working with countries to improve safety practices and reduce risks to patients worldwide.
The document discusses patient safety in healthcare. It defines patient safety and identifies common medical errors. The goals are to establish a culture of safety, minimize errors, and implement standardized practices and reporting. A patient safety committee coordinates these efforts by managing risk, establishing reporting procedures, and collecting/analyzing safety data to identify root causes and implement corrective actions. The leadership role is to create an environment that recognizes safety importance and implements a patient safety program.
This document outlines six international patient safety goals for healthcare organizations. The goals are to: 1) identify patients correctly using at least two patient identifiers; 2) improve effective communication among caregivers by writing down and reading back verbal orders; 3) improve safety of high-alert medications by addressing storage of concentrated electrolytes; 4) ensure correct-site, correct-procedure, correct-patient surgery through verification and timeout procedures; 5) reduce healthcare-associated infections through hand hygiene policies and programs; and 6) reduce risk of falls through assessment and risk reduction measures for at-risk patients. Requirements are provided for each goal.
This document describes research into improving the process for patients to request their medical records. It outlines:
- Challenges patients face in obtaining electronic copies of their records from different providers.
- The development of a digital "wizard" prototype to guide patients through clearly requesting their records, including purpose, timeframe, delivery method.
- User testing found the wizard made the process easier for both patients and records staff by generating clear, well-structured requests.
- Recommendations include piloting the wizard in health systems, developing a version for small practices, and advancing automated fulfillment using FHIR standards.

Northwestern Memorial Hospital implemented a patient portal and check-in kiosks to improve the patient registration process. They piloted the new system in select areas before a wider rollout. Results showed 15% of patients pre-registered online and 50% of those used the kiosks. Over $1.4 million in payments were collected through the portal and kiosks. Patient feedback was positive about the ease and convenience. Lessons learned included involving patients and clinicians in design, thorough testing, and addressing barriers to adoption like registration assistance and signage.
Patient engagement is a critical element of successful transitions of care. Without it, patients are improperly educated about their condition and inadequately prepared to self-manage.
Healthcare organizations need effective and scalable ways of engaging patients post-discharge.
This document provides an overview of key concepts in understanding health systems, including:

Ethical concerns caused by integrative patient empowerment servicesWolfgang Kuchinke
We conducted an ethical analysis of a Patient Empowerment Tool. The identified relevant ethical aspects were organized in ethical requirement clusters. These were further analysed for consequences for the structure of the tool and a suitable user interface of the Patient Empowerment Service. A central role that will be played by the Patient Empowerment Service is to guarantee patient autonomy and informed patient’s decisions. A User Interface Model that addresses our ethical concerns will allow user access channeled through a series of adaptable profiles that enable autonomy and present data in an understandable way with build-in support by help and guidance functions. In this way, it becomes possible to ensure patient autonomy even under adverse conditions, like access to unfavoable information, negative diagnoses, incomprehensible risk / benefit display, and other factors that impede the informed decision potential of the patient.

Putting the Power in the Patient's Hands: Digital Health TrendsSouthWiRED
The document discusses trends in digital health and the empowered patient. It outlines how patients are increasingly taking control of their own healthcare by accessing online health information from various sources. This has led to a shift where patients are becoming engaged partners in their care rather than passive recipients. The document also explores how new technologies like wearable devices, health apps, and electronic medical records are further enabling patients and supporting access to information, self-management of conditions, and care from anywhere. Major challenges and opportunities are discussed around data integration, privacy concerns, and creating more patient-centered healthcare models through digital innovation.
This document describes a patient portal that allows patients to communicate with their physicians online. The patient portal has several components that enable patients to manage appointments, view test results and education materials, request prescription refills, and communicate with their care team. Using a patient portal can improve patient education, satisfaction, and engagement with their health. It also supports healthcare providers' meaningful use objectives and reduces practice workload by facilitating online communication and self-service options for patients. Screenshots show examples of login screens and interfaces for viewing health conditions, medications, managing consents, and accessing audit records through the portal.

Should healthcare be more digitized? Absolutely. But if we go about it the wrong way... or the naïve way... we will take two steps forward and three steps back.
In this 90-minute webinar, Dale Sanders, President of Technology at Health Catalyst describes the right way to go about the technical digitization of healthcare so that it increases the sense of humanity during the journey.
The topics Dale covers include:
• The human, empathetic components of healthcare’s digitization strategy
• The AI-enabled healthcare encounter in the near future
• Why the current digital approach to patient engagement will never be effective
• The dramatic near-term potential of bio-integrated sensors
• Role of the “digitician” and patient data profiles
• The technology and architecture of a modern digital platform
• The role of AI vs. the role of traditional data analysis in healthcare
• Reasons that home grown digital platforms will not scale, economically
Most of the data that’s generated in healthcare is about administrative overhead of healthcare, not about the current state of patients’ well-being. On average, healthcare collects data about patients three times per year from which providers are expected to optimize diagnoses, treatments, predict health risks and cultivate long-term care plans. Where’s the data about patients’ health from the other 362 days per year?
McKinsey ranks industries based on their Digital Quotient (DQ), which is derived from a cross product of three areas: Data Assets x Data Skills x Data Utilization. Healthcare ranks lower than all industries except mining. It’s time for healthcare to raise its digital quotient, however, it’s a delicate balance. The current “data-driven” strategy in healthcare is a train wreck, sucking the life out of clinicians’ sense of mastery, autonomy, and purpose.
Healthcare’s digital strategy has largely ignored the digitization of patients’ state of health, but that’s changing, and the change will be revolutionary. Driven by bio-integrated sensors and affordable genomics, in the next five years, many patients will possess more data and AI-driven insights about their diagnosis and treatment options than healthcare systems, turning the existing dialogue with care providers on its head. It’s going to happen. Let’s make it happen the right way.
The document summarizes a mobile health application that allows users to collect, store, manage and share their family's health data in one place. It integrates with external health resources to provide personalized health information, advice and news to users.

Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...Oleg Kshivets
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). 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).

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
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.
Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
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.
ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.
