RES: MODULE 3 PART 2 Flashcards
The process in which individual data elements are represented in the computer by a special code to be used in making comparisons, trending results, and supplying clinical reminders and alerts
CLINICAL DECISION SUPPORT (CDS)
A special subcategory of clinical information systems that is designed to help healthcare providers make knowledge-based clinical decisions
CLINICAL DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEMS (CDSS)
Electronic results can be displayed automatically for care providers to improve effectiveness and efficiency of treatment while reducing cost of care by eliminating duplicate testing
RESULTS MANAGEMENT
Provides physicians and other providers the ability to place orders via the computer from any number of locations and adds decision support capability to enhance patient safety
Computerized Provider Order-Entry (CPOE) / Computerized Physician Order-Entry / Computerized Provider Order Management (CPOM)
This provides for effective and efficient patient care through decision making tools that are not currently available in paper-based health record systems
CLINICAL DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEMS (CDSS)
Health record should not be just a simple repository of patient care data
CLINICAL DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEMS (CDSS)
Assist healthcare providers in the actual diagnosis and treatment of patients
CLINICAL DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEMS (CDSS)
Review structured electronic data and alert practitioners to out-of-range laboratory values or dangerous trends before problems become evident
CLINICAL DECISION SUPPORT TOOLS
Can recall relevant diagnostic criteria and treatment options on the basis of the data in the records
CLINICAL DECISION SUPPORT TOOLS
Supports the physician as he or she considers various diagnostic and treatment alternatives
CLINICAL DECISION SUPPORT TOOLS
WHATARE THE INSTITUTE OF MEDICINE KEY CAPABILITIES OF EHR SYSTEMS (EVOLUTION OF EHRS IN HOSPITALS)
- Health information and data
- Results management
- Order entry management
- Decision support
- Electronic communication and connectivity
- Patient support
- Administrative process
- Reporting and population health management
Providers have voiced out the lack of interoperability because it greatly limits the progression of specialties such as pain management
LACK OF INTEROPERABILITY
Stymies efforts of information governance and information sharing between organizations
LACK OF INTEROPERABILITY
It must be improved to create standardization for data that can or will be staged for a data warehouse
LACK OF INTEROPERABILITY
WHAT ARE THE USES OF EHR
- Reduce medical errors
- Provide more effective methods of communicating and sharing information among clinicians
- Lower national health care costs, better
management patient medical records - Improve coordination of care and health care
quality condition, response to care, treatment course, and any deviation from standard treatment/reason)
WHATARE THE 2 TYPES OF DATA IN HEALTH RECORD
- CLINICAL DATA
- ADMINISTRATIVE DATA
Documents the patient’s medical condition, diagnosis, and procedures performed as well as the healthcare treatment provided
CLINICAL DATA
Include demographic and financial information as well as various consents and authorizations related to the provision of care and the handling of confidential patient information
ADMINISTRATIVE DATA
WHATARE THE 4 MAIN SOURCES OF STANDARDS FOR DOCUMENTATION?
- Facility- specific standards
- Licensure requirements
- certificate standards
- accreditation standrds
4 MAIN SOURCES OF STANDARDS FOR DOCUMENTATION:
- Standards might be found in facility policies and procedures and, when a facility has an organized medical staff in the medical staff bylaws, rules, and regulations
- Facility-specific guidelines govern the practice of physicians and others within a specific organization
FACILITY-SPECIFIC STANDARDS
4 MAIN SOURCES OF STANDARDS FOR DOCUMENTATION:
Before they can provide services, most healthcare organizations must be licensed by government entities such as the state or country in which they are located and must maintain a licenses as long as care is provided
LICENSURE REQUIREMENTS
4 MAIN SOURCES OF STANDARDS FOR DOCUMENTATION:
1.Government reimbursement program standards are applied to facilities that choose to participate in federal programs such as Medicare and Medicaid
2. These standards are titled conditions of participation or conditions for coverage. Facilities are said to be certified if the standards are met
CERTIFICATION STANDARDS
4 MAIN SOURCES OF STANDARDS FOR DOCUMENTATION:
Accreditation is the end result of an intensive external review process that indicates a facility has voluntarily met the standards of the independent accrediting organization
ACCREDITATION STANDARDS
The following are description of alternatives aside from the four main sources for standard of documentation guidelines:
- State regulating agencies
- Medicare and Medicaid programs
- Accreditation organizations
- The joint commission
