I am proud to say that I have been living in Felton since birth, and witnessed the massive and significant changes in the political, social, and economic scene of the area.
The resources above expanded on knowledge concerning the definition, evolution, proposed outcomes, research and the technology of meaningful use of the electronic health record. Nursing administrators, staff nurses, and nursing informaticists all perform an essential role in achieving meaningful use of the electronic medical record to improve patient care. Certain authors referenced other authors proving that the health information technology field is indeed a tightknit community. The resources were well written from highly credentialed authors and were, for the most part, easy to comprehend. All of these articles were written for the nursing professional with the exception of resource
Interestingly, the findings from the review of literature shed light to the challenges nurses encounter with the implementation of electronic health records and identify areas for improvement that could be made in an effort to achieve the goals of the HITECH act. Based on the review of literature, overall, the electronic health record is seen as a positive aspect to assisting nurses in providing positive outcomes for patients. However, challenges still exist with the daily utilization of the EHR, with communication among healthcare providers and interdisciplinary teams. These challenges present nurses with great difficulty as they attempt to provide care to their patients. Because some nurses continue to struggle with utilizing the electronic

Electronic Health Records and Patient Confidentiality Technology has become an essential part of our everyday life therefore, it makes sense that doctors and hospitals get rid of the old fashioned paper charting and use technology to access patient records. Electronic health records (EHR) provide quick access to information, as doctors no longer have to wait for other providers to fax previous records to them. The accessibility of Electronic Health Records assist medical providers to make quick medical care decisions, by accessing previous care provided to patients including treatment and diagnosis. Quick access to information through EHR enables health care providers to treat patients faster as there is no need for records to be mailed or
In a research article titled Electronic prescribing within an electronic health record reduces ambulatory prescribing errors, a study was done to assess the effectiveness of e-prescribing within an electronic health record in preventing prescribing errors in ambulatory settings. I found this article by typing in the key words electronic prescribing in the
Kathy H seems like an trustworthy character, she is giving insights on her past within the first few chapters of the novel. She is telling one of her donors all about Hailsham because he is not from there and he wants to know everything about it as if he was presently there during the time Kathy H was. She first goes to tell of a memory of Tommy not getting chosen to play football with the other kids and is deliberately not picked even though he is a better player than most of the other kids playing. She recalls that memory because that day Tommy was wearing his favorite light blue polo shirt and he got it dirty from throwing a tantrum for not getting picked. Kathy then goes on to tell about how they had to go to medical every week while going
When using EHRs the focus on the total health of the patient is going far beyond the standard clinical data that is being collected when it comes to the provider’s offices and the patients care. Electronic health care (EHRs) are designed to collect and compiles of patient information. They are also built to share information with other health care providers, laboratories, and specialist so they can able to retrieve information that involves the patient care. The National Alliance for Health Information Technology stated that EHTR data needs to be created and managed and consulted and has to be authorized by provider and staff and more than one healthcare
But within acceptance is a controversial
Introduction Technology is always out there and improving. Many hospitals and practices have electronic health records. Electronic records make it easier for a patient to access their own records and to increase the quality of care for a person and their safety (Sittig & Singh, 2012). The purpose of this paper is to address electronic health records and the different steps a facility goes through to obtain an electronic health record Description of the Electronic Health Record (EHR)
Kaiser Permanente has been equipped since 2007 with Health Connect; which is the largest private electronic health record implementation in the world. This is a highly sophisticated electronic program that integrates inpatient, outpatient, and clinic medical records with appointments, registration, pharmacy, and billing for all kaiser members. In addition, this electronic program includes an entire medical library with a whole set of care support tools which are accessible to doctors, nursing staff and patients (Kaiser Permanente, n.d.). At kaiser permanente; nurses are expected to print out “the after-visit summary” (AVS), which contain the doctor recommendations for each patient that we see.
Applying Standardized Terminologies in Practice Standardized nursing terminologies provide many benefits to patients, facilities and nursing professions. Health Information Technology (HIT) assist facilities and team members to improve the quality of healthcare by communicating and coordinating the efficiency, accuracy, and effectiveness of patient care. Thede and Sewell (2010) stated that three tasks are involved in standardizing nursing terminology so that it can be used in electronic databases: identifying the necessary data elements, developing the terminology, and classifying the terminology and assigning codes. The use of standard terminologies within the Electronic Healthcare Records (EHR) validates nursing care by communicating their
The Electronic Health Record (EHR) has been, this nurse believes, the turning point in the delivery of advanced patient care. This technology allows for efficient use in streamlining data, and collaboration of care, and the way we communicate. Personal Data Assistant’s (PDA’s), smartphones, and tablets help to simplify technology, placing the patient data in the hands of the HCP that gives the advantage to see a complete picture.
If a system has poor usability an increase in medical record errors can occur, as well as, decreased productivity and customer satisfaction rates. Customer satisfaction includes staff and patients. Patients accessing their records from home, need an easy to use system. Usability depends on a number of variables, including but not limited to: appropriate font color and sizes, functions groupings, workflow, and tools that do not function correctly. Any of these could create issues that hinder productivity and accurate documentation.
