Personal Health Record (PHR), Health Information Exchange (HIE)

Enumerate the key elements of Health IT Infrastructure

Personal Health Record (PHR)

A persons self-maintained health record

Health Information Exchange (HIE)

A health data clearing house or a group of healthcare organizations that enter into an interoperability pact and agree to share data between their various IT systems

HITECH Act in 2009

Increased the implementation of EHR systems

HITECH Act in 2009

introduced the EHR meaningful use program

bruh a bunch of bullshit

Cost Justification

Enumerate the DISADVANTAGES of Health Informatics in the Cloud

Integrated and Efficient Patient Care

Cloud technology offers a single access point for patient information, and this allows multiple doctors to review lab results or notes on patients.

Integrated and Efficient Patient Care

Physicians can spend more time deciding and performing patient treatment instead of waiting for information they need coming from different departments.

Potential Risks to Personal Information

\The information contained within medical records may be subjected to theft or other violations of privacy and confidentiality.

Safeguards

________ may be put in place in order to minimize such threats, such as encryption, proper data disposal, and other security features.

Better Management of Data

The accumulation of electronic health records will allow more meaningful data mining that can better assess the health of the general public. More data can mean more opportunities to identify trends in diseases and crises.

Cloud Set-up Seems Cumbersome

The transition from a traditional to an automated system might be difficult for some members of healthcare organizations, particularly for smaller or older practices that may not be familiar with cleud technology.

Cloud Set-up Seems Cumbersome

With proper education and illustration of its function, hesitant practitioners may be able to see its advantages.

Error Reduction

The most important potential benefit of computerized information processing is improvement and accuracy.

Error Reduction

Studies have found that about 70% of clinicians' decisions are based on laboratory results.

Error Reduction

Quality, accuracy, and precision of laboratory results are indispensable in clinical care. The automated system can eliminate transcription, calculation, and transmission errors.

Cost Justification

Having compiled an analysis of the specific benefits a computer system will provide to the laboratory, one must then show how these benefits will justify purchase and ongoing maintenance of such a system.

Cost Justification

An important warningmust be observed that not all commercially available Laboratory Information Systems improved productivity.
