Electronic Medical Record
Sphaira | Enterprise Resources CARE, information system fully empowers Physicians and Nurses to provide high-end quality of care in LEAN processes to the patients.
Electronic Medical Record is a systematized system designed to accurately collect patient's health information in digital format periodically. It eliminates the need to track down patients' previous paper-based medical records and assists in ensuring data are accurate and legible. It can reduce risks of data duplication and decreases risk of missing paperwork.
These electronic medical records are distributable through enterprise-wide information systems connected through a network or other network and exchanges.
EMRs consist of patient's data demographics, medical history, medication, allergies, immunization status, laboratory test results, radiology images, vital signs and billing information.
EMR Adoption Model
Scoring Hospital EMR Adoption Model
- Enabling healthcare reformation by using information technology, Healthcare Information Management System Society (HIMSS), has developed a methodology and algorithms to score the hospital EMR Adoption Model (EMRAM). The stages of the model are as follows:
-
- Stage 0: The organisation has not installed all of the three key ancillary department systems (laboratory, pharmay, and radiology).
- Stage 1: All three major ancillary clinical systems are installed (i.e., pharmacy, laboratory, and radiology).
- Stage 2: Major ancillary clinical systems feed data to a clinical data repository (CDR) that provides physician access for reviewing all orders and results. The CDR contains a controlled medical vocabulary, and the clinical decision support/rules engine (CDS) for rudimentary conflict checking. Information from document imaging systems may be linked to the CDR at this stage. The hospital may be health information exchange (HIE) capable at this stage and can share whatever information it has in the CDR with other patient care stakeholders.
- Stage 3: Nursing/clinical documentation (e.g. vital signs, flow sheets, nursing notes, eMAR is required and is implemented and integrated with the CDR for at least one inpatient service in the hospital; care plan charting is scored with extra points. The Electronic Medication Administration Record application (EMAR) is implemented. The first level of clinical decision support is implemented to conduct error checking with order entry (i.e., drug/drug, drug/ food, drug/lab conflict checking normally found in the pharmacy information system). Medical image access from picture archive and communication systems (PACS) is available for access by physicians outside the Radiology department via the organisation's intranet.
- Stage 4: Computerised Practitioner Order Entry (CPOE) for use by any clinician licensed to create orders is added to the nursing and CDR environment along with the second level of clinical decision support capabilities related to evidence based medicine protocols. If one inpatient service area has implemented CPOE with physicians entering orders and completed the previous stages, then this stage has been achieved.
- Stage 5: A full complement of radiology PACS systems provides medical images to physicians via an intranet and displaces all film-based images. Cardiology PACS and document imaging are scored with extra points.
- Stage 6: Full physician documentation with structured templates and discrete data is implemented for at least one inpatient care service area for progress notes, consult notes, discharge summaries or problem list & diagnosis list maintenance. Level three of clinical decision support provides guidance for all clinician activities related to protocols and outcomes in the form of variance and compliance alerts. The closed loop medication administration with bar coded unit dose medications environment is fully implemented. The eMAR and bar coding or other auto identification technology, such as radio frequency identification (RFID), are implemented and integrated with CPOE and pharmacy to maximise point of care patient safety processes for medication administration. The "five rights" of medication administration are verified at the bedside with scanning of the bar code on the unit does medication and the patient ID.
- Stage 7: The hospital no longer uses paper charts to deliver and manage patient care and has a mixture of discrete data, document images, and medical images within its EMR environment. Data warehousing is being used to analyse patterns of clinical data to improve quality of care and patient safety and care delivery efficiency. Clinical information can be readily shared via standardized electronic transactions (i.e. CCD) with all entities that are authorised to treat the patient, or a health information exchange (i.e., other non-associated hospitals, ambulatory clinics, sub-acute environments, employers, payers and patients in a data sharing environment). The hospital demonstrates summary data continuity for all hospital services (e.g. inpatient, outpatient, ED, and with any owned or managed ambulatory clinics).
Evaluation and Management Services Guide
Medical Records Documentation Guidelines
- Clear and concise medical record documentation is critical to providing patients with quality care. Medical records chronologically report the treatment a patient received and are used to record pertinent facts, findings, and observations about the patient's health history.
- Medical record documentation assists the physicians and other healthcare professionals in evaluating and planning the patient's immediate treatment and monitoring the patient's healthcare over time.
- Principle of medical record documentations for all E/M services is appropriate:Hospital can decide the level of clinical documentation start with Problem Focused until Comprehensive as follows:
- The medical records should be complete and legible.
- The documentation of each patient episode should include:Past and present diagnoses should be accessible.
- Reason for the episode and relevant history, physical examination, prior diagnostic test results.
- Assessment, clinical impression or diagnosis.
- Appropriate health risk factors should be identified.
- The patient's progress, response to and changes in treatment, and revision of diagnosis should be documented.
-
- While documentation of the Chief Complaint is required for all levels, the extend of information gathered for the remaining elements related to a patient's history is dependent upon clinical judgment and the nature of the presenting problem.
- Problem Focused – Include performance and documentation of 1 – 5 elements in one or more organ system(s) or body area(s).
- Expanded Problem Focused – Include performance and documentation of at least 6 elements in 1 or more organ system(s) or body area(s).
- Detailed – Include at least 6 organ systems or body areas. For each system/area selected, performance and documentation of at least 2 elements. Alternatively may include at least 12 elements in 2 or more organ system(s) or body area(s).
- Comprehensive – Include at least 9 organ systems or body areas. For each system/area selected, all elements of the examination should be performed, unless specific directions limit the content of the examination. For each area/system, documentation of at least 2 elements.
- While documentation of the Chief Complaint is required for all levels, the extend of information gathered for the remaining elements related to a patient's history is dependent upon clinical judgment and the nature of the presenting problem.
Clinical Pathway
Standard Protocol or Procedures
- Clinical Pathways, also known as care pathway, critical pathways, integrated care pathways or clinical guidelines are tools used to manage the quality in healthcare concerning the standardization of care treatments. The implementation will reduces the variability in clinical practice and improves outcomes.
- Generally clinical pathways refer to medical guidelines or evidence base reports.
- Clinical pathways are mandatory required for local or international accreditation.
