Electronic Medical Record (EMR) Overview

Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) are Used by 80-90% of Hospitals and Physician Practices.

One Study Found that EMRs Have Lowered Patient Mortality by 0.09%.

The Two Major EMR Companies Epic and Cerner Control 51% of the Hospital EMR Market.

EMRs Have Low Interoperability... Different EMRs Generally Cannot Share Patient Data Across Different Hospital Systems or Different Physician Practices.

62% of a Doctor's Time with a Patient is Spent on the EMR... NOT the Patient.

My colleagues and I make it a point to NOT use the EMR during our face to face consult time Instead we update our EMR prior to the visit and complete it after the visit This adds a bit of time but certainly improves the patient experience

[Igneelzidius]

Direct and clear - Thank you for this!

Yes! I’m a chart retrieval specialist. A majority of systems are ECW and Epic here in Massachusetts. Although different sites have the same electronic medical record system, each one is different. Athena, MDLand, Urocharts, and more are others. E-Clinical Works is my favorite. I can retrieve all progress notes for a patient within a year by highlighting each one and print to one PDF file. Epic, on the other hand, has me save each appointment separately. I figured that because EPIC is an EHR, it would allow for the same process as the older ECW EMR. (It drives physicians mad, and I don’t blame them!)

I love it, in Uganda we customized it to be Uganda EMR and its implemented in almost ART sites

I tried to pay attention so bad, but I cant get over the fact that you look like dwight shrute from the office

[LemmyCautionKaraoke]

[TYELERRR]

Your question, why do we still use a FAX is part of a bigger question why don’t we have a comprehensive Health Information Exchange (HIE) in 2021? Our government allows the aggregation and sales of health information obtained from billing and encounter claims, yet there seems to be no successful efforts to mandate that every EHR participate in an HIE. We know this is possible and yet the topic always seems to be overlooked?

[markhaye]

The question with all EMR is did it capture all of what actually happened or what was recorded for administrative and even financial reasons?

[pranjali]

Hi!
Can medical coders work as a EMR tech or there is a special certification is required for EMR technician?

[MyCentsYall]

Worry when they share information without your permission. EPIC medical records.

This prevent malpractice and keep all condition monitored by AI on a continious rovers up and down the alse from family to surgeries and reduce cost of private practices and help utilize lab works in communication and utilize speech to text system so the doctor can dictate input while diagnostics at the same time

[beasaroseco]

Im taking an electronic medical records job training program. Can this be connected with medical billing?

[magicjuand]

are you familiar with FHIR, the interoperability standard for healthcare data? what have you heard about its adoption and if it's helping with this 'fax machine' problem in the real world?

[mistygoodwill]

People still use fax machines??? Hmm I didn't realize

[michaeljuergens]

Haha! Why in the world do we still use fax machines?! Maybe they get a kick back for using fax machines…is it bad that I would not be surprised if they did.

I do not have to explain, Rise of Costs because of automation occur too. Specialist docs lack time. Nurses ar beavis and butthead. In general, we see ict take of in companies where staff can explain what they want and what its for, and where shopfloor workers are disciplined people (who btw dont leave company every half year). Hospitals aren t the best places for ict. Don t emphasize it, .. ok, lab and x ray..kinda practical have harddisks hmm..others? ..a phone works too, within the building its free of charge, a phone is in fact way less costly than email Not all people know what Exchange server, spam stuff, virus killers, archiving, front server plus Bill Gate license, well, that *email for ltds* is not email for consumers.

I don’t know why this popped up first on my feed but this video was a waste of my time. YouTube messed up on this one.
