What health informatics skills wil HIM professionals need to know? What HIM skills willhealth informatics specialists need? 2. How healthcare codes help both doctors and patients in the healthcare system? Provide examples uired to execute the stages of implementation? 4. Identify the types of informatics skills that will be required under a patient-centric healthcare model 5. How has telemedicine helped patients in the cardiovascular field? Provide examplesExplanation / Answer
ANSWER 1.
The factor that separates HI from HIM is that HIM mainly focus on information technology process need to store & retrieve patient data accurately & complying with regulations. HI, on the other side , focuses more on applied technologies by using information management & information technology for the improvement of patient care.
Health information management careers basically require education & experience along with medical records management, coding & billing & regulatory requirements. Information technology knowledge, particularly involving electronic health records is also often required. HIM careers may also require familiarity with medical terminology, medications & basic anatomy & physiology.
HI roles place less emphasis on coding, billing & regulations & a more emphasis on information analysis & organization & knowledge of system infrastructure design & networking as well as programming skills. HI career often also require familiarity with the clinical guidelines & applications within specialty areas such as nursing, clinical care, public health & biomedical research.
ANSWER 2.
Effective doctor-patient communication is the central clinical function in building a the therapeutic doctor-patient relationship, which is heart & art of medicine .Good doctor-patient communication has potential to help the regulate patient emotions, facilitate “comprehension” of medical information, & allow for better identification of patients' needs, perceptions, & expectations. Patients who reported good communication with their doctor are more likely to be satisfy with their care, & especially to share the pertinent information for accurate diagnosis of their problems, follow advice, & adhere to the prescribed treatment. Patient’s agreement with the doctor about the nature of the treatment & need for follow-up is strongly associated with their recovery.
ANSWER 3.
Nine steps for a successful “EHR implementation”:
Create an implementation team:
Basically this team will have physician, nurse, receptionist, medical assistant, compliance office staff & administrative staff. Clinical member play dual role by teaching EHR skill to colleague & also bringing clinical challenges back to the implementation team. Three important role to consider include: lead physician, project manager & lead super user.
Configure the software:
Develop a list of build element external to the EHR such as: demographic imported from the “practice management software (PMS)”, “computerized order entry (COE)”, treatment protocol, medication management setting, standing order, default patient history setting, billing master updated with new code & consents.
Identify hardware needs:
The right hardware can save an organization time & money. Some clinic find that a printer in every room saves 36 minutes of physician time per day & a large monitor save 24 minutes of the physician time per day. Further, some practices reduce the time spent logging into the system multiple time each day by providing every worker with their own laptops or tablets to carry between room to room. System hardware (i.e., server & network) need depends on the type of EHR purchase.
Transfer data:
Determine the approach for migrating data from the former record-keeping system or other PMS module to new EHR. A practice can assign existing staff to assist with this process. Alternatively, practice can hire temporary staff who can upload upload demographics & past medical, social, family & medication histories prior to patient's next visit.
Optimize pre-launch workflows:
It is the best to optimize workflows before “EHR implementation”. Some organizations postpone the workflow optimization because they think that this will all get better when we get our new EHR. Problems resulting from inefficient workflow or insufficient support staff will be exacerbated during implementation of an “EHR”.
Decide on the launch approach: Big bang vs Incremental:
Some of the practices convert all users over to the “EHR” for all functions & all patients on the same day—the big -bang approach. This has the advantage of minimizing the time spent managing both a paper record & the new electronic system simultaneously. It can also be highly disruptive & small glitches can be amplified.
Initiate a training plan :
Training staff & physicians is critical to ensuring EHR implementation success. Create a training plan to make sure everyone has the necessary knowledge & skills to use the EHR at the time of launch.
ANSWER 4.
Patient-centered healthcare is an important aspect of high-quality care. Health informatics, particularly advances in technology, has the potential to facilitate, or detract from, patient-centered cancer care. Informatics can provide a mechanism for patients to provide their clinician with the critical information, & to share information with family, friends, & other patients. This information may enable patient to exert greater control over their own care. Clinicians can use information systems (example., electronic medical records) to coordinate care & share information with other clinicians. Patients & clinicians may use communication tools & information resources to interact with one another in new ways. Caution in using new information resources is warranted to avoid reliance on biased or inappropriate data, & clinicians may need to direct patients to appropriate information resources. Perhaps it is the greatest challenge for both patients & providers is identifying information that is high-quality & which enhances their interactions.
ANSWER 5.
“Telemedicine” services for patients with cardiac conditions exist in a number of different centres . These services in general uses videoconferencing technology, sometime supplemented with transmission of physiological data (such as 12-lead ECGs), to allow remote assessment of patients.
In the broader field of “cardiovascular” medicine, telemedicine has also being deployed to assist with immediate assessment of the stroke patients , sometimes referred to as “telestroke”. Telestroke systems basically provide the opportunity for remote physical assessment of patients with stroke symptoms, coupled with access to radiology results. This allows decision to be made regarding a patient’s suitability for the thrombolysis even if a specialist stroke physician is not available on-site. A number of stroke telemedicine services exist worldwide, with the services appearing to improve access to thrombolysis & enhance decision-making in certain populations. Indeed, the “American Stroke Association” has stated that in the acute setting, a telemedicine-facilitated assessment by a stroke specialist is recommended when a bedside assessment is not immediately available.
For the patients with mechanical heart valves, atrial fibrillation or history of embolic stroke, anticoagulation with warfarin remains the mainstay of thromboembolic prophylaxis. The introduction of near-patient testing technologies for “anticoagulation monitoring” has enabled a move towards self-monitoring supported by warfarin dosage calculation software. Home anticoagulation monitoring appears to be feasible, safe & effective in selected patient groups.
