Over 120 employees at UCLA Medical Center inappropriately accessed the private medical records of 900 patients without legitimate reason, revealing confidential details like health conditions and treatments. This violated patient privacy laws like HIPAA. To prevent such violations, the document recommends healthcare organizations remain proactive through continuing education, annual system reviews, and electronic signatures when accessing records. Regular training and monitoring can help foster a culture of learning and compliance with privacy standards.

2014 SSH Healthcare Systems Modeling & Simulation Affinity Group Annual Report
HSMS AG Mission: Develop and use modeling and computer simulation resources with a systems engineering-based approach to design and evaluate (system) solutions that will improve patient safety, quality of care, and cost effectiveness in healthcare.
Electronic health records – the wait for systems that can “talk” continues
EHRs can make reviewing healthcare records, and coordinating care easier. The fact remains though, that the technology needs a major improvement.
System Proposal for Business Consulting
The document proposes a system for Healthstone Hospital Network (HHN) which has 3 main campuses, 8000 staff members, and treats 100,000 patients annually. HHN's current situation includes fragmented clinical and administrative systems leading to inefficiency, outdated systems, and a time-consuming medical records process. HHN needs a central electronic medical records (EMR) system to integrate systems, make records paperless, and easily generate reports for budget allocation. The proposed system should address these needs within HHN's 2021 timeframe and $5-10 million budget.

Integration in the Age of Value-Based Care: Webinar Slides
http://blog.redoxengine.com/integration-webinar-recap/
Just wanted to offer a quick re-cap of our most recent webinar. You can watch me fumble through it on crowdcast here:
https://www.crowdcast.io/e/digitalhealthintegration-redox
To set the stage, I gave an overview of EHR adoption, the shift towards value-based care, the increased demand for interoperability (i14y). Then I moved into how application interoperability works and how Redox can help--walking through the architecture.
We ended with a discussion led by questions from y'all. Things like:
How easy is your API to use?
How long does it take from signing a contract to having a connection go live with a health system?
We just completed our first CCD interface (Cerner). What is your experience with CCD interfaces and do you find that they are standard from one EHR to another?
and so much more!
Check it out here to see me stare awkwardly, rant about the industry, and fumble through questions.
CORAnet challenge presentation v2
CORAnet is a secure, personal, web-based and mobile system for electronic medical records (EMR) that allows full access to a patient's personal health record (PHR) from any location. It synchronizes PHR data with various EMR sources like hospitals, doctors' offices, clinics, and the military using its integration server. This allows patients to manage health information like allergies, medications, appointments and share medical records with trusted individuals from mobile devices. CORAnet is not an EMR system itself but extends EMR capabilities to web and mobile platforms while addressing CMS interoperability mandates.
Essay on Clinician Accountability & Clinical Governance
Clinical governance and clinician accountability are integral concepts in today’s modern healthcare sector. The purpose of this paper is to critically evaluate the statement that comprehensive clinician accountability and clinical governance reduces the likelihood of errors being committed in the delivery of health care. After key definitions are initially identified, the concepts of comprehensive clinician accountability, clinical governance and the link between the two are then explored in the context of their effects on the potential for, and incidence of, clinical error with reference to current literature.
Using Health Information Systems to Improve Health Services In Fiji
This document discusses health information systems in Fiji. It outlines the objective to determine how health information systems at the Ministry of Health are adding value to clients and the organization. It describes key concepts like health information units and health information systems. It provides details on current and future opportunities for health information systems at the Ministry of Health, including components like the patient information system and logistics management information system. It recommends that the Ministry of Health make more significant use of these systems by further upgrading systems and infrastructure.
Media presentation (social impact of technology)ppt
This document discusses electronic health records (EHRs), including what they are, how they work, who uses them, their benefits and disadvantages. EHRs are digital versions of patient health information that can be accessed electronically. They contain things like medical history, medications, test results and are accessible by authorized healthcare providers. EHRs allow for easy sharing of patient information between providers, reduce errors, and improve care coordination but require training, ongoing costs and cybersecurity protections to ensure privacy. Overall EHRs make healthcare delivery more efficient while improving care when implemented effectively.
DIA 2015 - EMR/EHR Clinical Data Intergration with EDC Systems
It has been a longstanding challenge to integrate patient data from EMRs (Electronic Medical Record systems) with EDC (Electronic Data Capture) systems for clinical studies and trials.
Integration between disparate systems can be done in many ways. Any two systems can be integrated given enough time and money. However, if there is to be wide-scale integration between applications used by clinicians at their practice or in the hospital, it requires the formation and use of standards for the structure and content of data as well as the transport of data between two systems.
A historic problem has been the lack of EMR adoption, particularly in physician offices. Thankfully, this is improving dramatically, something I will touch on later.
There is also a historic problem that Case Report Forms and the databases that contain them in EDC systems are routinely not designed from the start with standardized labels, content or structure. More adoption of the CDISC standards, such as C-DASH (clinical data acquisition standards harmonization) which dictates structure and content, and ODM (operational data model) which is an XML rendering of the CDASH CRFs.. If you take anything away from this talk, please ensure any data capture you do within an EDC system going forward meets the ODM model.
Patient matching between systems is important. There is a whole industry for Community and Master Patient Indexes to link records in disparate systems to the same patient. This gets even more complex when the patients are to be kept anonymous or the studies are blinded.
Lastly, moving data across systems is a challenge. There are two primary methods – 1) asynchronous file transfer in conjunction with an ETL, or 2) APIs where one system is inquiring in real time into another application for data. The latter is usually regarded as a more robust integration, but without standard APIs these are one off solutions. The former, using ETL, requires the sending and receiving applications be able to communicate
The Role of the Personal Health Record in EHR
The document discusses personal health records (PHRs) and how they relate to and integrate with electronic health records (EHRs). It defines EHRs as secure, real-time records that aid clinicians' decision-making. PHRs allow patients to access and manage their health information, providing benefits like improved patient-clinician relationships and better care. However, issues remain regarding transferring PHR data between providers and associated costs. Standards are being developed for continuity between EHRs and PHRs. As PHRs evolve to improve communication, their impact on medical practices is expected to increase.
EMR and EDC Integration
It has been a longstanding challenge to integrate patient data from EMRs (Electronic Medical Record systems) with EDC (Electronic Data Capture) systems for clinical studies and trials.
The challenges include:
Low adoption rates of EMRs in physician practices
Lack of interoperability tools provided by vendors to extract data from EMRs
Lack of standardized payload (content) and method of delivering (transport) from different EMRs to the EDC systems
All subjects of clinical studies not being part of the same health system and therefore same EMR
Lack of automated methods for identifying the same patient between EMRs and EDC systems
Inability to map and translate the EMR data into CRFs (case report forms) of the EDC systems
These hurdles have been so high that the task has rarely been attempted in earnest, let alone accomplished in any significant way. That is until recently. How are these challenges being overcome today? What changes have allowed this integration to be to considered and implement today? The answer is: lots!
Medicalhome
This document discusses the future of primary care medical delivery through the patient-centered medical home model. It summarizes five potential talk titles about this topic, including "The Medical Home" and "Healthcare is HOT! – The Future Medical Home in the Clouds!". The document then provides information about the benefits of medical homes such as reducing costs, improving quality, and using evidence-based medicine. It also discusses examples of open-source electronic medical record programs and how secure online communications between providers and patients through medical homes could reduce visits by 7-10% and phone calls by 14%.

Confidentiality
Confidentiality is a legal and ethical obligation for healthcare providers to protect patient health records and private information. Healthcare organizations must ensure all employees understand confidentiality through formal training. New hire training includes the appropriate and inappropriate ways to handle patient information through role playing. A comprehensive test with a passing score of 80% is required to continue employment. Supervisors monitor employees to ensure guidelines for accessing and releasing patient information are followed. Consequences for breaches include suspension, access removal, and termination. This training aims to increase knowledge and reduce confidentiality breaches.
European Standards on Confidentiality and Privacy in Healthcare
The European Standards on Confidentiality and Privacy in Healthcare establish an ethical and legal framework for protecting patient privacy and confidentiality. While healthcare professionals have a duty of confidentiality, this duty is not absolute and must be balanced with other duties. The document provides guidance on legitimate uses of confidential patient information for purposes not directly related to a patient's care. Such uses are allowed if patients are informed, consent is obtained whenever possible, or strict criteria are met around proportionality, statutory obligations, and anonymization of information. Ethical standards may require greater protection of patient privacy and consent than legal minimums.
