Objective, Assessment, and Plan
An electronic health record (EHR) is a digital version
of a patient’s paper chart.
EHRs are real-time, patient-centered records that
make information available instantly and securely to
authorized users. While an EHR does contain the
medical and treatment histories of patients, an EHR
system is built to go beyond standard clinical data
collected in a provider’s office and can be inclusive of
a broader view of a patient’s care.

What is EMR?
An electronic medical record (EMR) is a digital version of
the patient-specific medical information that is
traditionally kept in a paper "chart" or medical record
Nursing informatics
Nursing informatics is “a combination of computer
science, information science, and nursing science
designed to assist in the management and processing of
nursing data, information and knowledge to support the
practice of nursing and the delivery of nursing care.
13. Meaning of EMR
Electronic medical health record means health related
information on an individual within one health
organization .
An EHR system is a computerized, organized collection
of individual patients’ healthcare information in a digital
format
Functions
– Store
– Share
– Transmit electronic data
14. History of EMR
tate of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) in 1992
and their evolution by 2015 and where EHRs are
expected to be in 25 years.
September 2013
In September 2013 the Ministry of Health &
Family Welfare (MoH&FW) notified the Electronic
Health Record (EHR) Standards for India.
15. Concept of EMR/EHR
EHR programs collect health information for individual
patients in inpatient and outpatient settings
– Saves in a digital format
– Collects information that is typical of what you would
see in paper records
– Interfaces with external healthcare computer programs
– Transmits labs, orders, prescriptions, and results
electronically
– Produces comprehensive reports on diagnoses and
diseases for governmental reporting
16. What are the six main objectives of an EHR
These functions include:
health information and data.
result management.
order management.
decision support.
electronic communication and connectivity.
patient support.
administrative processes and reporting.
reporting and population health.
17. Purpose of EMR
Purpose of EMR Provide the electronic
equivalent of the patient chart
Bring together all of the data about a patient into a
single source
Support patient care and improve its quality
Support and enhance physician decision making
provide individual health related information in
printed form
18. GENERAL PURPOSES EMR/EHR
Nursing’s data needs fall into four domains:
Nurse need data about client care,
provider staffing, administration of care and
the organization, and
knowledge based research.
The first three are distinct areas, whereas research
interacts with all of the other three.
19. The four areas and the source for the data are:
Client: client care/ clinical care and its evaluation,
clinical data, and client outcomes. Source: the client
record.
Provider: professional data, caregiver outcomes, and
decision maker variables. Source: personnel records,
national data banks, and links to client records.
Administrative: management and resource oversight,
administrative data, system outcomes, and contextual
variables. Source: executive/ managerial data and fiscal
and regulatory data.
Research: knowledge base development. Source:
existing and newly gathered data and relational data
bases.
20. 8 Core Functions of EHRs
Health information and data.
Results management.
Order entry and management.
Clinical decision support.
Electronic communication and connectivity.
Patient support.
Administrative processes.
Reporting and population health management.
21. Most important part of EHR
Billing System
Billing records are an important part of hospital
profitability, productivity, and efficiency. That's why
they're one of the key components of an EHR system
as they can track all the charges that a patient occurs
while undergoing care.
22. Types of EHR Systems
Physician-Hosted System. Physician-hosted
systems very basically mean that all data is hosted on
a physician's own servers. ...
Remotely-Hosted System. Remotely-hosted
systems shift the storage of data from the physician
to a third party. ...

fears surrounding the use of EHR.
51. Introduction
Electronic health records
Eliminates duplication forms
Simply review information
Electronic health records enable a specialist to have a
patient’s information before the patient arrives at the
office.
No need to fill out the patient’s medical history each
time.
The specialist only has to review the information with the
patient to verify that everything is correct.
52. Definition of EHR
Electronic health record means health related
information on an individual across the more than
one health organization.
54. Purpose of patient record
Purpose of a Patient (medical) Record “to recall
observations, to inform others, to instruct students,
to gain knowledge, to monitor performance, and to
justify interventions” Reiser, S. (1991).
55. A Brief History of Electronic Medical
Records
Paper records becoming inadequate
Medical errors due to Lost or misfiled records
Mishandled patient messages
Inaccurate and illegible documents
Mislabeled or illegible lab or medication orders
56. History of the Electronic Health Record
Purpose:
– To improve patient medical care by having
information accessible for informed medical decision
making Started:
– 1960s First Facilities to use EHR Systems:
– Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota
– University Hospital in Burlington, Vermont
– Latter Day Saints Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah
History of EHR
57. Continued
Improved Functionality:
– 1960-1980s Enter Independent Medical Offices:
– 1990s
– Called practice management systems
– Designed for fiscal management
Vendors Proliferate:
– 2000s
Governmental Mandates and Funding:
– Current
– Causing acceleration of EHRs
58. Learning Outcome:
List four medical mistakes that will be greatly decreased through the
use of EHR.
In the early 1990s, it became apparent that paper medical records
were inadequate.
The increasing need for coordination of care, rising healthcare costs,
and the alarming increase in medical errors.
Most of these errors can be traced to communication
problems, including:
Lost or misfiled paper records
Mishandled or “forgotten” patient messages
Inaccurate or unreadable information in a paper medical record
Mislabeled or unreadable laboratory or prescription orders
59. Reason for Adaptation of EHR
President George W. Bush signed an executive order in
August of 2006 to promote the overall efficiency and
quality of healthcare in America.
These goals will help to control the rising cost of
healthcare
Most Americans will have access to electronic health
records by 2014.
A decrease in medical errors through record legibility
and uniformity of records
An increase in information available among patients,
medical providers, and the insurance carriers.
The electronic record is quickly becoming the physician’s
most important business and legal record.
60. Government Involvement in EHR system
1991 – IOM called for eliminating paper records by 2001
2004 – Bush created the ONC position and empowered
HHS to promote EHRs
2008 – Obama promised to sponsor adoption of EHRs
through stimulus package
2008 – Medicare Improvements for Patients and
Providers Act of 2008 (MIPPA)
2009 – Health Information Technology for Economic
and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act provided $19.2 billion
to accelerate use of EHRs over 5 years (part of ARRA –
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009)
61. Continued

Personal health record (PHR) – an electronic version
of the comprehensive medical history and record of a
patient’s lifelong health, collected and maintained by
the individual patient.
64. EHR Models
Web based personal health care model
Distribution base model
Facility base model
66. Type of EHR records
Personal health record (PHR)
Learning Outcome: Differentiate among electronic
medical records, electronic health records, and
personal health records
Electronic medical record (EMR) – an electronic
record of health-related information for an
individual patient that is created, compiled, and
managed by providers and staff members located
within a single healthcare organization.
67. Continued
Electronic health record (EHR) – If that same
information on an individual patient is created,
managed, and gathered in a manner that conforms
to nationally recognized interoperability standards.
It can be utilized by members of more than one
healthcare organization.
These EHRs are the federal government’s ultimate
goal. Any provider with an interoperable EHR
system will have access.
They will facilitate continuity of care, reduce in
medical errors, and decrease healthcare costs
71. Health care process of EHR
Accessibility
Paper – chart must be located, pulled, handled, and
refiled
EHR – multiple providers can access at same time
Review comparison of workflow in paper vs. EHR in
Data arranging
73. Barriers and Benefits of the EHR

Improved patient safety
Enhanced quality of patient care
Greater efficiency and savings
75. Future of EHR
EHR is here to stay
Federal government continues to encourage
development of National Electronic Healthcare
Infrastructure National Health Information Network
(NHIN)
– part of the federal government’s goal to digitize
patients’ health records and designed on a common
platform for health information exchange (HIE)
PDAs provide instant access to information at point-
of-care
76. Advantages and Disadvantages of EHR
Government mandate steps
Use all major functions of HER
Use EHR to send and receive clinical information
Learning Outcome: Contrast the advantages and
disadvantages of electronic health records.
The federal government has mandated EHR for eligible
Medicare providers by 2015.
There are financial incentives for providers who
demonstrate “meaningful use” of EHR for Medicare or
Medicaid patients until 2014.
77. Continued
Meaningful use includes the following steps:
Step 1 requires the provider to use all major
functions of a certified EHR program.
Step 2 includes all of step 1 and adds that EHR must
be used to send and receive clinical information such
as lab orders and reports.

83. Other Functions of EHR Programs
Tickler files
Specialty specificCustomized
Templates
Learning Outcome: Describe some of the capabilities of EHR software
programs.
Tickler Files Files that need periodic attention Alerts staff members about
patients who are due for yearly checkups and patients who require follow-
up care
Electronically scanned images of patient thumbprints or photos help keep
track of records and assists with patient security by identifying the patient
at the time of each visit.
Specialty Specific EHR software programs may be customized to suit a
specific specialty and style of a physician’s office.
Templates or “check offs” enable the physician to add entire sentences or
phrases with the click of a mouse, instead of typing the same information
repetitively.
84. Security and confidentiality of EHR
Access code
Limits access
Date and time stamp
Release of information policy
Backup
85. Learning Outcome
Learning Outcome: Explain how you might alleviate a patient’s security
fears surrounding the use of EHR .
All users have individual access codes and passwords.
The access code will allow each user to access only the areas of the record
that the user is entitled to, based on job description.
Access codes insert a date and time stamp within the medical record,
including the user’s initials, so that office administration and the patient
may know who is accessing each medical record.
A procedure should be in place to document when someone requests
information from the patient file, if the patient has given permission to
release that information, and when it was released.
Protecting the confidentiality of patient records in computer files is the
greatest concern of electronic health records. Electronic healthcare records
should be kept just as secure as paper healthcare records.
Careful key entry is essential to maintaining accurate electronic health files.
Electronic files must be backed up on a regular basis to avoid accidental
data loss.
86. Other measure for security
Know the confidentiality and security features
No negativity
Pamphlet explaining HER
Show the patient his/her record
Explain access to patient
87. Barriers to Adoption
Cost of conversion
Perceived lack of ROI
Technical and logistic challenges
Privacy and security concerns
88. EHR Affect on Patient Care
Safety
Reduces the need to repeat tests
Reduces the number of lost reports
Supports provider decision making
89. EHR Affect on Efficiency
Improves accessibility of patient information
