Adopting an EHR isn’t easy. If things go badly, your medical practice’s productivity could drop like a stone, your staff may have trouble performing basic functions and even patient care could suffer. But if you plan well, your EHR launch can be nearly painless – and you’ll dramatically increase your chances of earning Meaningful Use payouts from the federal government.
If you’re determined to make your EHR rollout a success, check out this presentation.
Whether you have your own I.T. department or you use an outside provider, there are certain things you should expect AND receive and also understand about I.T.
This short presentation outlines what you should expect and understand to ultimately manage your I.T. like every other department in your company with accountability through key performance indicators and metrics.
The following is a presentation that will help you manage your IT people, processes and technology by Jason Caras, Co-CEO of IT Authorities currently ranked 35th in the world by MSPMentor.net
Protect your healthcare organization with comprehensive security from HP.
Security is important for all companies, but healthcare organizations have additional concerns. You must meet the
challenges of protecting electronic medical records (EMR) while, at the same time, providing authorized personnel
with access to the information they need. To keep patients safe, information must be accurate and delivered quickly.
In a public environment—with patients, clinicians, staff, visitors, and suppliers coming and going—the printers that
healthcare professionals use must be protected on the network.

"Disruptive" Technology in Healthcare Implications for the Workforce & HR Pro...Cornerstone OnDemand
Electronic Medical Records, Meaningful Use, remote patient monitoring, and healthcare apps galore, just to name a few. The industry has recently seen a tremendous rise in new technologies that are changing the way healthcare is delivered today. These advancements have led to new standards of care but have also had a significant impact to the knowledge and skill-sets needed for healthcare staff to remain successful and deliver quality care.
However, rolling out new technology initiatives across organizations often come with their own set of challenges – possibly leading to a totally different type of “disruption”. Learn strategies for how your organization can minimize “growing pains” and realize the benefits of these new healthcare technologies sooner.

ABC health care centre is one of the top health care centres in San Francisco, California that provides medical assistance and health related knowledge to its patients. The health care centre has a total of 27 branches in the country with an overall staff of 350 doctors and 1000 other employees. The health centre excels in providing medical assistance to patients and has been ranked as number 1 health care centre in terms of services by the government organization. On an average, the health care centre serves a total of 5,500 patients in a single month throughout the country. The health care centre is experiencing a growth in its business recently and its manual methods of information storage are becoming obsolete and difficult to manage. Therefore, the management has realized that there is an urgent need to implement a digital system that can resolve the problems of the administration.
Data of the Health Care Centre
ABC health care centre has loads of data to take care of on regular basis. The list of information that is to be stored on the new system is given below:
· Patient details
· Patient medical history
· Appointments
· Inventory
· Financial management
· Human resource management
· Employee information
The new system
The new system appropriate for the ABC health care centre has been identified i.e. an ERP business suite along with a centralized data storage server. ERP business suites are software that integrate various operational modules in one software and manage all the working and operation of an organisation in it. The ERP business suite will help the health care centre to store all the information listed above using a single software. A centralized storage server, along with an ERP business suite, will allow the ABC health care centre to store all the information & data and will allow the employees to access the data from anywhere in the organisation after providing proper authentication on the server. (Stango, 2013)
The advantages of the chosen digital system to the health care system are:
· It will make creating, storage and accessing of data easier.
· It will save the health care organisation a lot of money as it will have to buy only one software to manage all its operation.
· ERP software are flexible and can be tailored according to the need of the company. This will allow the health care organisation to get a professionally developed software that will be in accordance of the health care’s needs.
· ERP software are highly user friendly. This will allow the company to reduce its overall cost of implementation as there will be no requirement for professional staff to operate the new system.
· ERP software are widely used because of their security measure that makes compromising of information and data impossible.
· The employees of the health care centre can undergo training, under hired professionals, to get introduced to the new syst ...

Examples of vector-borne diseases include Dengue fever, West Nile Virus, Lyme disease, and malaria.
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Director, Healthcare Strategy
Perficient, Inc.
EHRoutlook is a division of Access Intelligence, LLC. Reproduction in whole or in part in any
form or medium without express written permission of Access Intelligence, LLC is prohibited.
2. Agenda
• Introduction and Background
• People
– Are we “do it yourselfers” or do we need outside help?
– Is the project leader committed to success?
– What is the level of staff readiness for an EHR?
– Can we get outside help?
• Process
– Will an EHR impact our regular workflow?
– What is the impact on our billing – faster or slower?
• Technology
– What about the total cost of ownership?
– Can’t we just do all of this stuff over the web?
– What about security and privacy management?
EHRoutlook is a division of Access Intelligence, LLC. Reproduction in whole or in part in any
8/17/2011 form or medium without express written permission of Access Intelligence, LLC is prohibited.
3. Ten Key Issues in Healthcare Systems
1. How to create a patient’s health record
2. How to build a lifelong health history for a patient from
information stored in multiple, diverse systems
3. How to manage identity and authorities
4. How to identity a patient (or a healthcare professional) uniquely
and reliably
5. How to “join up” different systems on different platforms
6. How to interconnect diverse systems and how to make them
interoperate
7. How to communicate with remote systems
8. How to reuse legacy systems
9. How to achieve flexibility and agility
10. How to achieve performance and scalability
EHRoutlook is a division of Access Intelligence, LLC. Reproduction in whole or in part in any
form or medium without express written permission of Access Intelligence, LLC is prohibited.
4. Our view of the EHR evolution
• Connected systems – Software networks that span
applications, devices, services, and healthcare
organizations to help streamline processes, improve
knowledge sharing and reduce costs
• Information-driven software – New applications that
dramatically improve the way healthcare workers find,
organize and act on information, facilitating better
collaboration and quality of care
• Collaborative environments – Rich interfaces and new
experiences that help improve collaboration and
consultation for healthcare workers and patients using
high-quality audio, video and natural language
EHRoutlook is a division of Access Intelligence, LLC. Reproduction in whole or in part in any
form or medium without express written permission of Access Intelligence, LLC is prohibited.
5. Current State Assessment
• Ambulatory Care - Doctor’s Office Visit
– Customer satisfaction is low but volumes of activity
remain high, building pent-up frustration
– Processes that are non-value-added to the patient are
relatively high cost to the provider
• Tasks are highly repetitive and clerical in nature
• Routine tasks are medium to high in complexity
• Manual hand-offs between processes create a
high probability of failure and rework
EHRoutlook is a division of Access Intelligence, LLC. Reproduction in whole or in part in any
form or medium without express written permission of Access Intelligence, LLC is prohibited.
6. Current State Assessment
– Quality problems appear at the outset of the process
and get worse as activities unfold
• Simple, routine manual tasks are most susceptible
to error
• Standard patient data, manually input across
disparate systems is error prone – at risk for
improper coding
EHRoutlook is a division of Access Intelligence, LLC. Reproduction in whole or in part in any
form or medium without express written permission of Access Intelligence, LLC is prohibited.
7. Typical Practice Workflow
– Processes are not standardized. Each office institutes its
own procedures
• Standardization appears to stem from outside influences only –
insurance carriers, regulators
• There are disparate systems, inconsistent policy interpretation,
duplication of effort, user confusion
– Critical processes are not documented, providing few
controls and little discipline
• Critical tasks require specific expertise, but are typically mastered by
only one or two staff members
• Consistent quality assurance cannot be monitored or maintained
• Utilization of staff managed via the “Walking Around” method
– Each process, if done correctly, would significantly
differentiate a provider’s service offerings
EHRoutlook is a division of Access Intelligence, LLC. Reproduction in whole or in part in any
form or medium without express written permission of Access Intelligence, LLC is prohibited.
8. Technology Used Inconsistently
– Practices lose efficiency by inconsistent or
inefficient use of technology
• Generic out-of-the-box Electronic Health Record
(EHR) applications are set up to meet unique office
policies
• Technology is used for record keeping only. Work
processes remain manual in nature
EHRoutlook is a division of Access Intelligence, LLC. Reproduction in whole or in part in any
form or medium without express written permission of Access Intelligence, LLC is prohibited.
9. Know Your Technology Style Is A
Key Starting Point
“Do It Yourself” types Outside Help
• Install your own PCs and • Want to avoid managing
servers my own servers, but
• Don’t mind the weekly willing to manage local
Microsoft Windows updates
PCs
• Back-up the computers on a
regular basis and know how • Need to focus on what we
to do a system restore do best, not managing
• Like to train office staff on our own IT
Windows and new
applications
• Don’t want to manage
the constant updates
from anyone
EHRoutlook is a division of Access Intelligence, LLC. Reproduction in whole or in part in any
8/17/2011 form or medium without express written permission of Access Intelligence, LLC is prohibited.
10. Is the project leader committed to
success?
• Patience, patience, patience (especially around
patients)
• It will take time to master – by each of us
• Continuous improvement – can I accept making
mistakes and learning from them?
• It will take a plan for when things don’t work
exactly right – power out, Internet connection
down, staff illness or vacation
EHRoutlook is a division of Access Intelligence, LLC. Reproduction in whole or in part in any
8/17/2011 form or medium without express written permission of Access Intelligence, LLC is prohibited.
11. What is the level of staff readiness
for an EHR?
• Make an honest healthcare IT skills
assessment of each staff member
– Level of Microsoft Windows knowledge
– Ability to learn the EHR software application –
navigate the screens, print the reports, etc.
– Understanding of key data elements and
importance of data accuracy
