HSA 315 Health Information Systems
Information technology (IT) has undergone significant improvements thereby requiring organizations to integrate these technologies to remain competitive. Considerably, health institutions are striving to improve primary care delivery, a facet that can be attained by incorporating the use of IT in service delivery. Information technology systems enable these institutions to streamline their processes based on its ability to improve the communication aspect of the system. Enhanced communication between employees and management simplify the organization’s operations as information can be shared in real time. Notably, healthcare institutions have priorities that must be addressed adequately to ensure that both the patients and stakeholders are satisfied with the organization’s service delivery system. Based on this, the institutions ought to retain IT management personnel to sustain its processes. This paper discusses the responsibilities and characteristics of the Chief Information and Chief Technology Officers. Additionally, the paper outlines how technologies can be used to improve healthcare processes, approaches to prevent misuse of information by upholding data privacy, strategies for organizations to train providers in using IT, and best practices for efficient IT alignment with strategic planning initiatives.
Characteristics and Roles of a CTO and a CIO
Often people confuse the two important senior leadership roles within the health care organization, the Chief Information Officer and Chief Technology Officer (Wager, Lee and Glaser 2013). Despite this, they have distinct tasks that must be performed to ensure the smooth running of the healthcare organization. Primarily, the CTO ensures that the institution’s services are tailored to meet the needs of the consumers. Notably, technological innovations are continually evolving thereby the organizations should retain an individual who is conversant with the new changes whenever they occur. In this regard, the CTO has the responsibility of advising top-level executives on strategic decisions regarding technology (Stephens, Ledbetter, Mitra & Ford, 2011). Additionally, the CTO identifies, evaluates and examines high return and high-risk IT systems with the potential of its application within the organization. As a result, the CTO must assess and monitor technologies for use in better service delivery in the future. The CTO’s focus is the client whereby he/she uses technology to foster collaboration amid suppliers and management to promote the organization’s services (Stephens, Ledbetter, Mitra & Ford, 2011). As the CTO works in the external environment, he/she can comprehend what is working in other institutions and apply it within the organization.
The document discusses key considerations for behavioral health organizations implementing electronic health records systems. It covers regulatory compliance with HIPAA, the meaningful use program, impacts of the local healthcare environment, best practices for system implementation, managing organizational change, and aligning clinical and business workflows with the new system.

The document discusses how accurate, consistent data is essential for healthcare organizations to succeed in the transition to value-based care. It explains that population health management, care coordination, predictive analytics, performance improvement, and clinical quality reporting all require reliable data captured across settings. Ensuring data quality requires establishing governance and processes to standardize, monitor, and protect this valuable asset. When structured properly, healthcare data can be leveraged for strategic decision making, care management, and financial success under new payment models.
System Analysis 1
System Analysis 6
Current System of the Healthcare Organization
The current information system utilized by ABC Healthcare center is one that can be described as a mixture of pen and paper information system, with a lot of records kept in manual files. Each branch uses a different information system, with different applications. For an organization with over 350 physicians and 100 workers, the amount of information stored, processed, and accessed is immense. The system serves close to over five thousand five hundred patients in a month across the country. With a constant rise in the business as a result of increase in patient turnout, the company is finding it hard to maintain, access, store, and retrieve information in a speedy way using the manual pen and paper information system. The organization’s current information system is slowly becoming obsolete, as the amount of data to be processed and accessed increase tremendously. For instance, information that is supposed to be processed include: patient profiles, appointment records, inventories, human resource, employment data, as well as financial and supply chain information.
Problems with the Current Information system
The current information system, being pen and paper, has various problems. First, there are numerous cases of redundancies and repetitiveness in the information stored. This is because branches are not interconnected. Therefore, patients’ records stored in one branch cannot be retrieved in another, making the physicians to start a new test once again. Secondly, the systems that are present cannot be used to execute more than one task. In addition, the information system is prone to security problems like unauthorized access (Shelly & Rosenblatt, 2009). This is because some data are kept in computer systems that are not properly secured, while other classified data are stored in manual files in cabinets. Furthermore, the system is inefficient in the sense that it is very slow, costly to operate, and energy consuming for employees operating them. The process of verifying and ensuring data reliability is burdensome and next to impossible. Finally, accuracy is a challenge, since pen and paper entries are prone to human errors, especially when they feel tired following a long-day work (Shelly & Rosenblatt, 2009).
Expected Changes and impacts of implementing the new system
After implementing the new information system, the healthcare organization is going to witness various transformations and benefits. First, the company’s operational efficiency will be improved, since all business processes, such as transactions, recording, retrieval and storage of patients’ employees’ and stakeholders’ data (AO'Brien, Marakas, Hills & Lalit, 2006). Additionally, ...

A Clinical Information System (CIS) is a computer-based system that collects, stores, and provides access to clinical information for healthcare delivery. A CIS includes features like electronic medical records, clinical data repositories, order entry, and decision support. Key stakeholders in selecting and implementing a CIS include clinical staff, administrative staff, and information technology staff. Implementing a CIS requires significant costs for equipment, IT support, training, and maintenance. Ongoing education is also needed to ensure staff can properly use and adapt to changes in the system.
Regional extension centers (RECs) were created to help physicians implement electronic health record (EHR) systems and achieve meaningful use. However, RECs face limitations including short-term funding, endorsement of select EHR vendors, and lack of experience with all systems. The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) offers a successful example of large-scale EHR implementation through a collaborative development process tailored to clinician needs. While RECs aim to support physicians, their assistance may be constrained without long-term, sustainable support.
The Impact of Duplicate Medical Records and Overlays on the Healthcare Industry RightPatient®
Duplicate medical records and overlays continue to be two pressing issues for the healthcare industry as we usher in the age of electronic medical records, health information exchanges, and integrated delivery networks. Although these two issues can seriously jeopardize patient safety, increase the likelihood of unnecessary treatments and a misdiagnosis, raise the cost of care, and have a detrimental effect on the revenue cycle for medical facilities, they are different in size and scope and until only recently, have not been getting the attention they deserve from C-level executives.

The Electronic Health Record – Challenges and Solutions

The Electronic Health Record –
Challenges and Solutions
The electronic health record has eased medical record
review and medical claims review. Here is a look at some
EHR challenges and solutions.
MOS Medical Record Reviews

Tulsa, OK 74133

The electronic health record has been implemented in the vast majority of healthcare
organizations, and there have been many challenges. However, there have also been
many benefits – improved care coordination, improved patient care and patient
satisfaction. Processes such as medical peer review and chart review have become much
easier. The systems implemented are being updated periodically in keeping with new
technologies. What are the most common challenges associated with the electronic
health record?
• The cost associated with EHR implementation is rather heavy, and according to
the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT, the cost of purchasing and
installing an EHR system ranges from $15,000 to $70,000 per provider. These
expenses include setting up the hardware, software, implementation assistance,
training for staff, network fees and regular maintenance.
• Your existing staff may resist the implementation mainly out of inhibition to
transition to a new system. There are providers and other clinical staff who are
sceptical about the effectiveness of electronic health records and may hesitate to
give up the documentation practices they are used to. Sometimes, the clinical
and support staff may have inhibitions about the new technologies and their
efficacy.
• Another major challenge when implementing a new EHR system is reduction in
the productivity of staff, reduced number of patients seen, and reduced workflow
efficiency. You may have to prepare to invest in additional support as well. Even
in practices that have already implemented an EHR system, the staff may
continue to use old systems or avoid using the system effectively. They may
continue to use old systems and avoid using the new systems. They may continue
to write down patient information and data instead of logging their notes into the
system. This would lead to increased work and consume more time. Moreover, if
the staffs are continuing to utilize their old methods, the objectives of EHR cannot
be achieved.
• Clinicians may find it difficult to adapt to an EHR that does not fit into an
organization’s existing work flows. Flaws in the design or the lack of training
could affect the ease of using the software.
• Data privacy issues are another major problem. Stakeholders may be concerned
about the privacy of patient data and HIPAA compliance. If there is a data breach,
the organization could get into a legal hassle and spend millions of dollars to
settle the dispute.
• Data migration is another issue associated with the electronic health record. It
involves logistics issues and any data entry required can become tedious and
time intensive. Moreover, the data to be migrated is private and sensitive and
3. www.mosmedicalrecordreview.com 918-221-7791
must be migrated accurately to ensure continued patient care. Also, organizations
may have to maintain old legacy systems for many years even after
implementing a new system due to legal and record access reasons.
• EHR systems are as yet not able to seamlessly exchange healthcare information
among diverse providers. This is frustrating for organizations trying to implement
the system.
• Lack of communication between providers and IT vendors can lead to problems.
Only with excellent communication can the system be customized to provide the
desired results.
How can organizations address these challenges effectively?
• The EHR implementation process must be delivered with a good promotion and
marketing plan.
• All stakeholders must understand that EHR implementation is an ongoing process
and the focus is on meeting the expectations of everyone using the system.
• Vendors should ensure that all concerns and feedback of the provider are
addressed appropriately.
• The staff must understand that the new system will introduce a better business
model and ensure them improved job satisfaction.
• Organizations can consider hiring a healthcare consultant to provide support
during the implementation process, and also hire temporary staff to carry out
more routine work duties.
• Regarding data, it is important to prioritize records to determine how far back the
data should be migrated. The most recent information should be available in the
system. One person can be assigned the task of uploading all the new information
that is delivered on paper or via fax.
• Delegate duties and responsibilities for team members. Ensure that the team has
contingency plans too.
No doubt, EHR systems will ease medical record analysis and such other processes
medical and legal entities require. The present-day healthcare system is value-based
and therefore the patient is at the centre. The needs of the patient must be given top
consideration when implementing new systems.
