Pg2 Beginning in 1991, the IOM (which stands for the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies) sponsored studies and created reports that led the way toward the concepts we have in place today for electronic health records. Originally, the IOM called them computer-based patient records.1 During their evolution, the EHR have had many other names, including electronic medical records, computerized medical records, longitudinal patient records, and electronic charts. All of these names referred to essentially the same thing, which in 2003, the IOM renamed as the electronic health records, or EHR.
Note: EHR
The acronym EHR is commonly used as shorthand for Electronic Health Records, and will be used in the remainder of this book.
Institute of Medicine (IOM)
The IOM report2 put forth a set of eight core functions that an EHR should be capable of performing:
Health information and data
This function provides a defined data set that includes such items as medical and nursing diagnoses, a medication list, allergies, demographics, clinical narratives, and laboratory test results. Further, it provides improved access to information needed by care providers when they need it.
Result management
Computerized results can be accessed more easily (than paper reports) by the provider at the time and place they are needed.
· Reduced lag time allows for quicker recognition and treatment of medical problems.
· The automated display of previous test results makes it possible to reduce redundant and additional testing.
· Having electronic results can allow for better interpretation and for easier detection of abnormalities, thereby ensuring appropriate follow-up.
· Access to electronic consults and patient consents can establish critical links and improve care coordination among multiple providers, as well as between provider and patient
Order management
Computerized provider order entry (CPOE) systems can improve workflow processes by eliminating lost orders and ambiguities caused by illegible handwriting, generating related orders automatically, monitoring for duplicate orders, and reducing the time required to fill orders.
· CPOE systems for medications reduce the number of errors in medication dose and frequency, drug allergies, and drug–drug interactions.
· The use of CPOE, in conjunction with an EHR, also improves clinician productivity.
Decision Support
Computerized decision support systems include prevention, prescribing of drugs, diagnosis and management, and detection of adverse events and disease outbreaks.
· Computer reminders and prompts improve preventive practices in areas such as vaccinations, breast cancer screening, colorectal screening, and cardiovascular risk reduction.
Electronic communication and connectivity
Electronic communication among care partners can enhance patient safety and quality of care, especially for patients who have multiple providers in multiple settings that must coordinate care plans.

Early EHRs
Electronic Health Record: “An electronic record of health-related information on an individual that conforms to nationally recognized interoperability standards and that can be created, managed and consulted by authorized clinicians and staff across more than one healthcare organization”
While the “experts” can debate the difference between EHR and EMR, we will not and will stick with EHR throughout the textbook and slides
Definition
Paper records are severely limited: less legible, more difficult to retrieve, store and share and unstructured data. Also, electronic records less likely to be missing and available 24/7 from multiple locations. Paper records do not permit clinical decision support
Need for improved efficiency and productivity: clinicians are more productive if charts are available and retrieval of results is faster. EHR access from home while on call helps productivity
Quality of care and patient safety: the factors already described in last two bullets plus clinical decision support, quality reports and secure messaging as part of an EHR
Why do we need EHRs?
Public expectations: EHRs may increase patient satisfaction through faster results, messaging, patient portals, electronic patient education, e-prescribing and online scheduling
Governmental expectations: federal government considers EHR to be transformational and hence why they support reimbursement for u.
This document provides an overview of health information technology (HIT) in the United States, including its history, current components, and future potential. It discusses how the federal government has promoted HIT through legislation to incentivize adoption of electronic health records (EHRs) and other technologies. Key parts of HIT that are explained are EHRs, e-prescribing, personal health records, and health information exchanges. The document outlines the vision for HIT to improve care coordination, quality, and efficiency through seamless sharing of patient data across providers.
The document discusses the meaningful use requirements of the HITECH Act which provides incentives for hospitals and providers to adopt electronic health record (EHR) systems. It evaluates three elements of meaningful use - electronic prescribing, exchange of health information, and privacy/security of patient data - and identifies both potential benefits and risks to patient safety from implementation of EHRs. While EHRs can improve care coordination and reduce errors, proper policies, workflows and software design are needed to fully realize benefits and ensure patient safety.

HijackLoader Evolution: Interactive Process HollowingDonato Onofri
CrowdStrike researchers have identified a HijackLoader (aka IDAT Loader) sample that employs sophisticated evasion techniques to enhance the complexity of the threat. HijackLoader, an increasingly popular tool among adversaries for deploying additional payloads and tooling, continues to evolve as its developers experiment and enhance its capabilities.
In their analysis of a recent HijackLoader sample, CrowdStrike researchers discovered new techniques designed to increase the defense evasion capabilities of the loader. The malware developer used a standard process hollowing technique coupled with an additional trigger that was activated by the parent process writing to a pipe. This new approach, called "Interactive Process Hollowing", has the potential to make defense evasion stealthier.

Learning objectives :
Illustrate the steps in creating a new patient record
and correcting an existing record using EHR
software.
Describe some of the capabilities of EHR software
programs.
Explain how you might alleviate a patient’s security
fears surrounding the use of EHR.
35. 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.
36. Definition of EHR
Electronic health record means health related
information on an individual across the more than
one health organization.
38. 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).
39. 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
40. 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
41. 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
42. 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
43. 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.
44. 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)
45. Continued

of the comprehensive medical history and record of a
patient’s lifelong health, collected and maintained by
the individual patient.
48. EHR Models
Web based personal health care model
Distribution base model
Facility base model
50. 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.
51. 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
55. 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
57. Barriers and Benefits of the EHR

patient record and correcting an existing record using
EHR software.
Refer to Points on Practice: Working with Electronic
Health Records
67. 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.
68. Security and confidentiality of EHR
Access code
Limits access
Date and time stamp
Release of information policy
Backup
69. 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.
70. 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
71. Barriers to Adoption
Cost of conversion
Perceived lack of ROI
