Electronic Health Records Protecting Assets With A Solid Security Plan Wp101207

Erik Ginalick

EHR systems provide significant benefits but also require proper security plans to protect patient data. A solid security plan includes: 1) Conducting a risk analysis to identify vulnerabilities and ensure compliance with HIPAA security rules. 2) Implementing administrative safeguards like security policies, employee training, and systems to monitor threats. 3) Using technical security like firewalls, encryption, and authentication controls to restrict access and protect hardware and software. This will allow organizations to maximize the benefits of EHR while safeguarding protected health information.

Briefly discuss 3â€“5 key trends in the modern health care operation.pdf

anjandavid

Briefly discuss 3â€“5 key trends in the modern health care operational environment that may have an impact on the effective leadership and management of a hospital or health care organization. Solution Trend #1 : Usage of HIT stands for Health Information Technology platforms. Electronic Health Records or EHR\'s are digitized patient records & medical history that can be updated on a real time basis and reviewed. These are a good example of the integration of information technology with health care. EHR Interoperability Wireless devices are known to interfere with the smooth operation of health care systems. Wireless devices are known to interfere with pacemaker, MRI\'s . Xrays , CAT scans etc. However with HIT and EHR\'s introducing interoperability into their systems. its important to transition health care technology into a wireless world. In healthcare, interoperability is the ability of different information technology systems and software applications to communicate, exchange data, and use the information that has been exchanged. It\'s impact on the effective leadership and management of a hospital or health care organization Health care organisations will need to address the following changes in order to keep up with the trend in the health care industry EHR downtime : Since EHR\'s are basically hardware and software, like all systems they may face outages, system down times and hacking (as seen during the recent attack by the ransom ware virus on UK hospitals where they couldn\'t access patient records). These are complex systems and require strong enterprise grade IT support. With EHR\'s becoming increasingly complex with a vast number of variables, there have been a significant increase in outages and downtime resulting in hospitals not having access to patient records, real time diagnosis tools etc. Miscommunication of Data between between different components of EHR : As i mentioned before EHR comprises of both hardware and software. Software systems are often linked to hardware systems that interface with patients such as X ray, MRI, life support systems etc. Sometimes, the manufacturer of the hardware and software may not be the same and this could cause a certain degree of discrepancies. In other cases even when the manufacturer of the hardware and software components were the same , there was a fair degree of miscommunication between various components. Alarm Fatigue Alarm fatigue is a scenario where health care workers may normalise to alerts or alarms triggered by EHR\'s. This desensitisation is often caused due to either false alarms or a high frequency of low priority alarms being triggered by EHRs. When EHR\'s trigger alarms, health care workers may brush it off as a low priority alarm when it might be quite the opposite. This removes the sense of urgency causing real emergencies to be neglected. This could lead to serious deterioration in patient\'s health and in some cases death. While EHR\'s can do many things and capt.

This document provides an overview of electronic health record systems (EHRs). It discusses how EHRs are used by various healthcare professionals and departments to longitudinally collect and share patient health information. Key features of EHRs discussed include providing access to patient data, clinical decision support, supporting efficient healthcare processes, and enabling remote access to patient records. Several examples of early EHR systems developed by the VA, DoD, and IHS in the 1970s are provided. The role of government agencies and standards organizations in facilitating EHR adoption is also summarized.

Chapter 17 Implementing and Upgrading an Information System Soluti.docx

cravennichole326

Chapter 17 Implementing and Upgrading an Information System Solution Christine D. Meyer No matter whether the electronic health record (EHR) is new or an upgrade, the ultimate goal in implementations is to provide the highest level of care at the lowest cost with the least risk. Objectives At the completion of this chapter the reader will be prepared to: 1.Discuss the regulatory and nonregulatory reasons for implementing or upgrading an electronic information system 2.Compare the advantages and disadvantages of the “best of breed” and integrated system approaches in selecting healthcare information system architecture 3.Explain each step in developing an implementation plan for a healthcare information system 4.Develop strategies for the successful management of each step in the implementation of a healthcare information system 5.Analyze the benefits of an electronic information system with an integrated clinical decision support system 6.Explain the implications of unintended consequences or e-iatrogenesis as it relates to implementing an electronic health record (EHR) Key Terms Best of breed, 277 Big bang, 284 Phased go-live, 284 Scope creep, 276 Tall Man lettering, 276 Workarounds, 279 Abstract The decision to implement a new electronic health record (EHR) or to upgrade a current system is based on several factors, including providing safe and up-to-date patient care, meeting federal mandates and Meaningful Use requirements, and leveraging advanced levels of clinical decision support. Implementing EHRs entails multilayered decisions at each stage of the implementation. Major decisions include evaluating vendor and system selection, determining go-live options, redesigning workflow, and developing procedures and policies. The timeline and scope of the project is primarily dictated by expenses, staff, resources, and the drop-dead date for go-live. Success depends on variables such as a well-thought-out and detailed project plan with regular review and updating of the critical milestones, unwavering support from the organization's leadership, input from users during the design and build phases, mitigation of identified risk factors, and control of scope creep. The implementation of an EHR is never finished. Medication orders, nonmedication orders, and documentation screens or fields will continuously need to be added, modified, or inactivated; patches will be installed and tweaks to workflows and functionality will be ongoing. Introduction This chapter focuses on the implementation of healthcare information systems. Of course, many different types of applications are used within a healthcare information system. The general principles for implementing these many different applications are the same; however, for the purposes of discussion this chapter will focus mainly on the implementation of an electronic health record (EHR) to demonstrate these general principles. In 2004 President George W. Bush promoted the i ...
