Interoperability is one of the most critical issues facing the health care industry today. A universal exchange language is needed to assist health care providers in sharing health information in order to coordinate diagnosis and treatment, while maintaining privacy and security of personal data. Health Information Exchanges (HIE) allow for the movement of clinical data between disparate systems; they enable providers to electronically share health records through a network. This presentation provides an overview of HIE and the Meaningful Use requirement related to the exchange of clinical information as well as information about standards of exchange and the recommended "next steps" for providers.

Midtown Family Clinic
Case Study
In 1990, Dr. Harold Thompson opened the Midtown Family Clinic, a small internal medicine practice, in an
area with an increasing number of new family residences. Dr. Thompson has been the owner and manager
of the medical practice. He has two nurses, Vivian and Maria, to help him. Usually, one nurse takes care
of the front desk while the other nurse assists the doctor during the patient visits. They rotate duties each
day. Front desk duties include all administrative work from answering the phone, scheduling appointments,
taking prescription refill requests, billing, faxing, etc. So if on Monday Vivian is helping the doctor, then it
is Maria who takes care of the front desk and all office work. The two nurses are constantly busy and
running around, and patients are now accustomed to a minimum 1-2 hour wait before being seen. If one
nurse is absent, the situation is even worse in the clinic. The clinic has three examination rooms so the
owner is now looking into bringing a new physician or nurse practitioner on board. This would help him
grow his practice, provide better service to his patients, and maybe reduce the patients’ waiting time. Dr.
Thompson knows that this will increase the administrative overhead and the two nurses will not be able to
manage any additional administrative work. He faces several challenges and cannot afford to hire any
additional staff, so Dr. Thompson has to optimize his administrative and clinical operations. The practice
is barely covering the expenses and salaries at the moment.
Dr. Thompson’s practice operation is all paper-based with paper medical records filling his front office
shelves. The only software the doctor has on his front office computer is a stand-alone appointment
scheduling system. Even billing insurance companies is done in a quasi-manual way. For billing insurance,
the front office nurse has to fax all the needed documentation to a third party medical billing company at
the end of the day. The medical billing company then submits the claim to the insurance company and
bills the patient. The clinic checks the status of the claims by logging into the medical billing system,
through a login that the medical billing company has provided the clinic to access its account. There is no
billing software installed at the practice, but the nurses open Internet Explorer to the URL of the medical
billing company and then use the login provided by the third party medical billing company. Of course, the
medical billing company takes a percentage of the amount that the clinic is reimbursed by the insurance.
Although the medical practice has the one PC with the scheduling software and an internet connection, it
does not have a Web site or any other technology, and essentially still operates the same as it did in 1990.

Introduction
Clinical documentation is the process by which a patient’s medical or therapy process is noted down in terms of the diagnosis as well as the medication and healing process. At The PAX Campus, Intensive Out Patient, I have realized that clinical documentation has the following responsibilities like daily detailed group notes, based on my interactions:
The prompt is: "What are your various documentation responsibilities at your site?" What are some of the various documents you complete at your site? group notes, Group summary by Therapist (trainee), Emails etc.
First is that it enables the center to prepare in advance, whenever a patient is to be registered for an Outpatient program, I have realized that there is the need for the facility to understand whether they can handle the case successfully or efficiently. This, therefore, means that the referral source must send the information to assigned staff and hence they will review and give a feedback within a period of seven days. This procedure is referred to as Prior Authorization.
What are your documentation responsibilities at your site in reference to Prior Authorizations? None,I am still in training. What do you have to document? Group Notes How do you get the information? By taking notes, shadowing Group Therapist. From whom? How is it to be written? Professionally Hence this type of documentation enables.
Medical transcription is an excellent career choice for stay at home moms looking for flexible work opportunities. There are many career training programs that impart the skills necessary for the job, which involves listening to doctor dictations and converting them into ready to use text using transcription devices.

Wally,I have reviewed your explanantion of your paper; however.docxmelbruce90096
Wally,
I have reviewed your explanantion of your paper; however, please review the instructions below and compare. This paper should have been focused on telenursing, not the use of EHRs. In each paragraph, your focus started with telenursing, but quickly changed to EHRs. EHRs can be used in telenursing, and this was the primary focus in your paper. Describing the advantages and disadvantages of telenursing would include allowing PCPs to assess their patients from a distance using telecommunications, allow patients to be assessed at home using monitors that are in healthcare facilities, allow physicians to utilize specialist to obtain a second opinion about their patients, etc. Telenursing can be used to monitor patients at home, via video streaming, between healthcare settings, etc.This is the use of telecommunication and IT to provide care or services to patients.
Once you review the topic and instructions below, please contact me at (229) 376-1539.
Directions From Doc Sharing
1. You are to research (find evidence), compose, and type a scholarly paper based on the scenario described above. Reflect on what you have learned in this class to date about technology, privacy rights, ethical issues, interoperability, patient satisfaction, consumer education, and other topics. Your text by Hebda (2013, Chapter 25) discusses telehealth in detail. However, your focus should be on the professional nurse’s role in telehealth, such as telenursing. Therefore, do not limit your review of the literature to your text. Nurses in various specialties need to know about the advantages and disadvantages of telenursing as it applies to their patients. For example, when you discharge a patient from an acute care setting, will a telenursing service assist that individual with staying out of the hospital? You may need to apply critical thinking skills to development of your paper.
2. Use Microsoft Word and APA formatting to develop your paper. Consult the Publication manual of the APA, 6th edition if you have questions, for example, margin size, font type and size (point), use of third person, and so forth. Take advantage of the writing service, Smarthinking, which is accessed by clicking on the link called the Tutor Source, found under the Course Home tab. Also, review and use the various documents in Doc Sharing related to APA.
3. The length of the paper should be 4–5 pages, excluding the title page and the reference page. Limit your references to key sources.
4. The paper should contain an Introduction that catches the attention of the reader with interesting facts and supporting sources of evidence, which need to be mentioned as in-text citations. The Body should present the advantages and disadvantages of telenursing from a patient perspective. The Conclusion and Recommendations should summarize your findings and state your position on whether Manuel should accept the position should it be offered to him.
Student's Comments and Excerpts from.
The Communiqué is a publication dedicated to bringing articles and advice, specific to the anesthesia and pain management community, that are practical and tangible. ABC is happy to provide The Communiqué electronically as well as hard-copy versions. The Communiqué features articles focusing on the latest hot topics for anesthesiologists, nurse anesthetists, pain management specialists and anesthesia practice administrators.
Tony Mira, President & CEO, explains, “The Fall 2014 issue features several experts in anesthesia practice management providing helpful advice, starting with Danielle Reicher, MD, an Anesthesiologist from San Diego, CA. Dr. Reicher describes a specific and very important application of EHR technology in Making Meaningful Use More Meaningful: communicating with patients." Dr. Reicher states, “While we may not be a daily fixture in the medical lives of our patients, our role is critical and the information we gather can be extremely vital to the electronic medical record. Let’s make Meaningful Use even more meaningful!”
Another author we are proud to feature is Steven Dale Boggs, MD, MBA, Director of the OR and Chief of the Anesthesia Service at the James J. Peters VA Medical Center in Bronx, NY as well as Associate Professor of Anesthesiology at The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in Manhattan, NY. One of Dr. Boggs’s areas of particular interest is GI sedation. For the past several years, Dr. Boggs has been working closely with endoscopists at Mount Sinai in New York and elsewhere, evaluating turnover time and safety metrics. He will be presenting at The ANESTHESIOLOGY™ 2014 annual meeting in New Orleans with a Point-Counterpoint session on Monday, October 13th and on a panel Tuesday, October 14th, and he gives us a detailed preview of his arguments in Computer-Assisted Personalized Sedation (CAPS): Will It Change the Way Moderate Sedation is Administered? ABC was pleased to have the opportunity to provide Dr. Boggs with claims data showing that the cost of anesthesia and anesthesia providers may be quite competitive with cost of CAPS.

How A Digital Work Hub Can Reduce Employee Burnout In Your Healthcare Organiz...ChristosSchrader1
Burnout is on the rise among clinicians and other healthcare workers. Prior to the pandemic, nearly 40% of nurses reported they felt burned out because of long work hours, greater workloads, poor environments, and caring for significantly ill patients. In 2021, that figure had jumped all the way to 70%.
With countless contributing factors to burnout (one being the extended trauma of fighting the pandemic for the last few years), there has never been a more important time to prioritize the digital employee experience of your healthcare workforce.
In this whitepaper, we make the case for how a modern digital work hub can reduce burnout in your healthcare organization.
doctors and nurses can be differentiated in an effortless manner. Doctors study and cure disease, while nurses study and heal people. Too know more visit: https://at.tumblr.com/medicalsaffairsusa/what-can-nurses-do-that-doctors-cannot/31c42h37gaen
The dimensions of healthcare quality refer to various attributes or aspects that define the standard of healthcare services. These dimensions are used to evaluate, measure, and improve the quality of care provided to patients. A comprehensive understanding of these dimensions ensures that healthcare systems can address various aspects of patient care effectively and holistically. Dimensions of Healthcare Quality and Performance of care include the following; Appropriateness, Availability, Competence, Continuity, Effectiveness, Efficiency, Efficacy, Prevention, Respect and Care, Safety as well as Timeliness.
CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)

confirmed by Michael E. Porter and Thomas H. Lee in a Harvard Business Review article titled,
“The Strategy That Will Fix Healthcare” – a doctor’s cost per minute runs up to $4 minute. This
drops to $1 per minute for NPs/PAs. So, to speak of cost-benefit ratios, we first have to know
what is the cost for a medical facility’s doctor per minute of work. Hold in mind the thought of
$240 per hour: the cost of 1 hour of a doctor’s time.
Would you pay $240 per hour to have someone type and click information into an electronic
medical record? Of course not. So then why would you take your most expensive group of
employees and make them into data entry staff?
And what happens during the time that the doctors are typing? If they type in front of a patient,
that is akin to texting during a conversation.
Studies report that patients perceive doctors, who are typing while they are talking, as not
listening to them. If the doctor types their notes after the encounter, then the next patient has to
wait longer to be seen (lowering patient satisfaction scores) – or less patients are being
scheduled, which means less revenue (confirmed by multiple studies), unless each patient is
billed more (also confirmed – EMR’s allow upcoding, but no real improvement in patient care or
health outcomes).
So the current status quo with EMRs is thus: Expensive EMR deployments, doctor’s time poorly
utilized, less patients seen, more expensive patient encounters, longer wait times to be seen,
increasing patient dissatisfaction, and higher physician burnout.
Breaking Down the Data and the Day:
The minimum amount of time that it takes a physician to process his or her portion of the patient
encounter in an EMR is 4 minutes, with most charting taking 12 minutes, and complex patient
cases taking up to 20 minutes. So at $4 per minute, a physician can cost $16 to $80 per minute
just to type up a single patient encounter.
The cost of a Physicians Angels’ Virtual Medical Scribes cost $14 per hour. Onsite scribes are
more expensive ($18 to $26 per hour, and have several drawbacks associated with absenteeism,
turnover, and overhead costs). The average doctor using a scribe can easily see one more patient
per hour. This means that seeing just one new patient covers the cost of a scribe and saves the
doctor over 2 hours of typing each clinic day.
2. The average doctor can then either take the time savings or have more time for other activities
(research, publishing, management), or they can see more patients in the same number of hours.
Considering the halo effect of each extra patient encounter, this translates into extra lab tests,
radiologic studies, or surgeries. Not only the small clinic, but the big health systems stand to gain
a tremendous amount of ancillary revenue from using medical scribes.
By fractionating and specializing work, a combination of doctor/scribe can be more productive
than a doctor alone. This is Adam Smith’s division of labor argument that many in healthcare
don’t fully understand or trust yet. Many clinic directors and hospital directors only see another
person being hired as a liability, not realizing that the EMR is no different from a CT scan or
EKG machine. The EMR is a data acquisition device. You don’t see the radiologist or
cardiologist operating the CT or EKG. They have technicians, thus allowing their mental
energies to be devoted to the interpretation of data and management of the patient. A medical
scribe is an EMR technician, in other words.
Some doctors claim they already use a scribe. In fact, they have assigned an existing medical
assistant or nurse to “scribe” for them. This is something my ENT group tried, and it was a costly
mess. Pulling a staff person off of existing responsibilities and patient care, and then asking them
to work as a scribe means that other work piles up. Having a patient care provider, like an MA or
nurse, work as an EMR data entry clerk is not a productive use of their training or time neither.
What healthcare groups nationwide deploying EMRs have experienced, without fail, is a
reduction in the number of patients seen per office day, along with an increase in wait time. The
cause is doctors acting as EMR data entry clerks for large portions of the day, instead of seeing
patients.
Instead of hiring medical scribes, the response in healthcare has been to hire more doctors, NPs,
PAs, and extend office hours. Medical groups have increased their most expensive labor costs to
see the same number of patients they saw pre-EMR. They can achieve the same results with a
low cost medical scribe, instead.
We have to keep in mind that the EMR is the ultimate aggregator of data for doctors to use. But
by asking doctors to be their own data entry clerks expends their energy incorrectly. It also
results in doctors developing poor data entry behaviors, reducing the quality of the patient data –
which threatens the ultimate quality and purpose of the EMR, not to mention the patient’s care.
Physician and Patient Satisfaction:
Recent, independent research and publications are confirming that physicians are happier with
medical scribes. We have on hand emails and letters from doctors who have been able to rejoin
their families for dinners or spend evenings and weekends with their kids, instead of typing or
dictating charts. This was my personal experience as well. I got my family back when I started
using virtual scribes.
KPMG authored a global study in 2012 on physician burnout. One of the leading sources of
burnout was documentation burdens. Countries like the United States, which have created
3. documentation burdens on doctors, have accelerated the burnout rate. Medical scribes have been
shown to decrease burnout.
As for patient satisfaction, research has shown that scores are higher with medical scribes, and in
particular, with virtual scribes. Most patient exam rooms are small. Patients also fear being
judged. Putting another person in the exam room with the doctor and patient can make it
claustrophobic. The virtual scribes take up no space, and are invisible – “out of sight, out of
mind” to the patient. The virtual scribe allows the doctor and patient to maintain their traditional
dynamic. Because the virtual scribe can only hear what is being said (we do not allow
video/webcams with our virtual scribe service), the doctors are forced to verbalize their thoughts
and communicate better with their patients. The side effect is that patients report that the doctors
explained more to them, making them more satisfied with their visit. In contrast, when doctors
do their own EMR data entry or dictate, they don’t verbalize to patients as much, keeping much
information in their head or silent.
Virtual Scribes – Logistics & Benefits
After trying onsite medical scribes in my clinic, we went with virtual scribes. Virtual scribes
were more cost-effective and allowed specialization. On days I did not need my virtual scribe, I
could share him or her scribe with other ENT practices across the country, lowering our costs
and keeping skill sets high
Physicians Angels specializes our virtual scribes into ENT, Orthopedics, Urgent Care, Internal
Medicine, Plastic Surgery, and other specialties. ENT is our largest specialty, and we have the
largest ENT scribe pool in the world.
Medical practices with multiple locations can move scribes from one site to another based on
work demands during the day without loss of time due to scribe travel. If one scribe is sick or on
leave, we have a large pool of scribes to jump in and take over. Compared to many groups with
in-house or onsite scribes, when an onsite scribe is sick or leaves, the down time before a
replacement is trained can take 3 to 6 months. We have many groups that have transitioned from
in-house scribes to our virtual scribe service, as a result of the benefits of using our virtual scribe
model.
Additionally, we can shift scribes from one facility to another to manage fluctuating work flows.
Large healthcare systems can rapidly shift workforce allocations from outpatient facilities and
even support inpatient care documentation facilitating doctors and nurses to care for patients.
What is required for virtual scribes in terms of technology? A strong broadband connection,
good internal IT infrastructure, and people willing to commit the time to refine their unique
relationship with their virtual scribe team to reach optimal efficiency.
At the end of the day we provide a well-trained virtual scribe who is willing to work hard to
make things work. It will take some time, as it would take any new person joining an
organization. The good get better; the better get exceptional. Our experience has been that
4. practices with good processes and productive doctors seeking better productivity do extremely
well with virtual scribes.
By developing employees dedicated to a career path as scribes, hospitals and practices receive
consistency without the turnover associated with temporary onsite scribes. At Physicians Angels,
we had to build semester-long training programs for each specialty, creating a pool of employees
that can quickly learn a new doctor’s style. We have an ongoing lifelong education and
mentoring program for our scribes that is unique in the industry. When hospitals/practices try to
replicate our process (none have been successful, to our knowledge), they realize how expensive
and time intensive it is to build and maintain a small let alone large pool of scribes. We
encourage doctors to share their lecture sets or internal training programs with us so that we can
customize their scribe service even more tightly to their work flow.
Virtual scribes work out of HIPAA-compliant facilities with biometric scanners and cameras to
ensure no data breaches. The security at our virtual scribe facilities is greater than or equal to
what is present at hospitals. We do not allow our virtual scribes to carry papers, cellphones, or
media storage devices into or out of our facilities. The USB ports are disabled on the virtual
scribes’ computers. All communications and data shared is encrypted at 256-bit AES. Scribes
undergo a background check and regular performance reviews and audits. For this reason, we do
not employ virtual scribes that work out of homes.
Market Growth:
The scribe market overall is growing fast. Within 10 years, we expect that there will be at least
30,000 scribes, across all specialties, needed in the United State. If we consider that EMR
problems are not unique to the U.S. but worldwide, we can expect to see this industry grow
internationally in the coming decade.
