EMR Implementation Part III
The EMR system provides adequate assistance and support for the clinician. This system reduces the chances of errors and increases efficiency in research facilities. This paper includes a summary from previous plans developed in the implementation of these proposed changes. The effectiveness of these changes carried out, measurement strategies, costs, and satisfaction with the EMR system implementations are points of analysis in this presentation.
This organization in Miami, Florida conducts research to the biotech industry. The upcoming clinical pharmacological testing in a patient with diseases accelerates the needed of the EMR system in this research facility. Some financial issues, inadequate technical support, and government requirements are organizational barriers, which affect the implementation of these changes. Individual’s barriers affect the implementation of the EMR system as well as the required training from staff, resistance to change, and loss of status quo from employees. The EMR implementation has to lead to improve patient safety, and reduction in medical errors. The competitive external environment demands in this organization the implementation of this system. For the readiness in this process, the organization could develop objectives, policies and conduct a several workshops to build consensus for the key deliverables. The Kurt Lewin’s theoretical models apply to implementation to these changes, external forces driven to executives and employees to identify the needed of changes, and the implementation of this system (Spector, 2010). Internal sources as well as human source, leadership, and the experience from employees guarantees the implementation of this system. External fa...

The EMR system develops an organizational transformation. This system merges the technology and operational process to achieve value and intelligence for clinical care delivery. The EMR transforms the workplace achieving change through communication; reinforce the governance and leadership knowledge, and management the organization culture. The system motivates sustainable changes for the benefits in the processes of this organization. The implementation of EMR increases the clinical process optimization for the standardization, and efficiency in care delivery by this institution. The system allows the provider engagement in the development; adoption, acceptance, and accountability for care delivery process create more physician integration. Finally, the patient safety increase and the organization gain more reputation in the community (Synor, 2009).
Determined healthcare systems routinely examine their environments internally and externally to locate significant trends and forces in the present and for the future which will have an effect on their performance goals and mission efforts. These healthcare systems understand who their stakeholders are, their needs and how best to meet those expectations and needs. These systems give attention to specific efforts on accomplishing goals that acquire opportunities in the whole environment while they continue to adjust their internal structures and functions. Precise aims are dealt with by uninterrupted sequences for performance improvements. Strategic directions for systems originate from the mission and directives. Strategic directions are identified by observing key stakeholders, addressing their interests and being proactive about responding to current, as well as, future shifts and trends in the systems’ entire environment (Skinner, 2001).
For years now, the healthcare system in the United States have managed patient’s health records through paper charting, this has since changed for the better with the introduction of an electronic medical record (EMR) system. This type of system has helped healthcare providers, hospitals and other ambulatory institutions extract data from a patient’s chart to help expedite clinical diagnosis and providing necessary care. Although this form of technology shows great promise, studies have shown that this system is just a foundation to the next evolution of health technology. The transformation of EMR to electronic heath record system (EHR) is the ultimate goal of the federal government.

With an average of more than three million instances of child abuse reported annually in the United States, social workers face an overwhelming client list of children and adults who are or have been victims of cruelty and negligence. Left untreated, the chances that these individuals may lead lives fraught with future psychological conditions are increased exponentially. Since many children and some adults are incapable of verbalizing disturbing experiences, a treatment called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) can often provide the resolution that more traditional therapies can’t. Overall EMDR therapy is important because it helps to process distressing memories, reducing their lingering effects which allow patients to develop more adaptive coping mechanisms and lead normal lives.
To be considered meaningful users of the EMR, the qualified applicant must use clinical content that is consistent and standardized across systems and healthcare settings, use decision support tools such as alerts and reminders, have the ability to collect and store raw data from documentation that can be used for reporting purposes, collect and report data to the state. Reporting of data will help to improve public health and awareness and provide sharing of information between systems (Tripathi,

In order to address the issue of rising healthcare expenditures and the increasing cost to Pennsylvania’s Medicaid program, it is imperative that the use of CER be adopted to identify and promote the use of medical practices which are cost-effective and produce the greatest patient outcomes. It is equally important however, that any CER policy is implemented in a manner that will ensure that government directed healthcare rationing cannot occur. There are several possible options which may allow for the adoption of an effective and fair CER policy in Pennsylvania.
The selection process may start with the planning of how the EHR system will be supported (Elizabeth, 2009). At times, the implementing team can identify the various goals and then select an EHR system that supports the goals. In the selection process, the leadership team also makes a consideration of how the EHR will affect the workflows in the organization. This is a good proof that the EHR is not just a simple project. It is a big program that is implemented with a purpose of changing the organization. Its environment is complex and dynamic, and it must be managed in the context of changing the organization operations (How to Implement EHRs).
The EMR report has the data on all the patients with the specific procedure code. As the code relates to more than one procedure, all the patients record with only this specific code must be reviewed. One intern can review the patients records with the last name A-K with the code and the second intern can review the records with the last name L-Z. Each intern will categorize the data based on patients who received the procedure and who did not. This system lets the interns review the patient records more meticulously without being hurried or overwhelmed with too many records to review. In turn, it helps to collect and record data more efficiently and accurately and saves time. I will be reviewing the final list of patients with the procedure from both interns and check for any data errors or repetitions and with the approval of the IRB, enter a standardized code to the patient database with the specific
Personal Reflection of ENGR 4501; Engineering Case Studies In our course, engineering case studies, we primarily focused on study of great achievements and historic failures in engineering, with focus on ethical issues and societal impacts. This is important because as a profession we the engineers are expected to adhere the welfare of the society we are supporting and improving. In any profession, we are expected to perform honestly with the utmost respect to every individual’s well-being. In engineering this is especially important because our profession has major economic, environmental, cultural, and political impact.
Scott et al. (2009) used OMRU to determine the barriers and supports for implementing metered dose inhalers with spacer devices in pediatric emergency departments for acute exacerbations of asthma research. barriers and facilitators interact with each other in terms of (1) attributes of the innovation e.g., perceived ease of use, clear advantages of metered dose inhalers with spacer and cost, (2) attributes of the practice environment e.g., staffing, organizational bureaucracy, presence of a research champion, and autonomy, (3) and attributes of the individual clinicians working within the emergency departments e.g., entrenched ideas and scepticism. The main barriers to the adoption of the metered dose inhalers with spacers were Lack of leadership in the form of a research champion, perceived resistance from patients or parents, a lack of consensus about the benefits of metered dose inhalers with spacers among staff, perceived increased cost, and perceived increased workload associated with metered dose inhalers with spacers use were the most prevalent barriers.
Managing Change: Who Moved my Cheese? Darrin Ruble National University Managing Change: Who Moved my Cheese? Rashid-Al-Abri (2007) claims that change in the healthcare industry has been a dramatic phenomenon that requires the personnel to accept changes or they will be surpassed by them. Therefore, there is the need to follow the steps of change: evaluation, planning, implementation, and management. The characters are different, but the individual control that these characters display plays a fundamental role in the acceptance and the administration of change.
Our clinical knowledge is expanding. The researcher has first proposed the concept of electronic health record (EHR) to gather and analyze every clinical outcome. By late 1990s computer-based patient record (CPR) replaced with the term EHR (Wager et al., 2009). The process of implementing EHR occurs over a number of years. An electronic record of health-related information on individual conforms interoperability standards can create, manage and consult with the authorized health professionals (Wager et al., 2009). This information technology system electronically gather and store patient data, and supply that information as needed to the healthcare professionals, as well as a caregiver can also access, edit or input new information; this system function as a decision support tools to the health professionals. Every healthcare organization is increasingly aware of the importance of adopting EHR to improve the patient satisfaction, safety, and lowering the medical costs.
Electronic Medical Record (EMR) provides convenient access to the staff of the clinic. It also provides quick access to patients’ information each time staff wants to retrieve the data. Other than that, the system could help in solving record movement problems and at the same time improve the quality of the process. In terms of security, using the EMR is more secured compared to manual system as it can be restricted to certain user for example to medical officer and receptionist. The user needs to login into the system so that it can be easily monitored and identified who uses the system. As for the b...
