Medical Record Storage and Management Concerns

Until recently, the problems of medical record storage and management has been largely the concern of hospitals, clinics, and contractors who might work with them to handle the issue. As electronics have evolved and the security of the systems has improved, medical records have been slowly migrating to a new way of doing things. Like everything in the business of medicine, however, the move has been slow and painful.

 

One of the biggest issues of medical records management has been the rising costs of paper storage and of the paper and printing itself. Environmental concerns have only sharpened the issue. As with many things in this industry, the insurance business has driven many of the changes happening in medical records.

 

Electronic records have only become any kind of standard in the business in the past handful of years. In fact, many clinics and even small hospitals still do not have an electronic record system and only have the bare minimum required to comply with Medicare and insurance company billing.

This has lead to a lot of patients, who can not only see value in electronic records, but also in their having control over their own medical record storage and use. Thus the new industry of personal health records (PHR) and companies like MedeFile taking the lead in this new arena.

 

It's amazing to watch how slowly most of the health care industry moves on infrastructure items like electronic records. All of the technology is there and it has been for well over a decade. Yet the snail's pace of adoption continues. Enter any hospital or clinic and you'll still see doctors scribbling on paper couched in folders that get passed from one provider to the next until, ultimately, some unlucky medical records clerk gets to attempt to decipher the hen scratch to put it into the computer for billing and (possibly) for storage.

Are you taking charge of your own medical records? It's to the point where everyone should be.

Electronic Medical Record Infrastructures (Hardcover) $170.2 This volume in the CHC series is an overview of the critical information structures and standards required to build multifunctional electronic medical records (EMR). Description and critique of present clinical coding systems is emphasized, followed by the development of ideal design criteria required for a practical classification environment to support the electronic capture, presentation, and analyses of patient observations, findings, and events. The relationship of medical knowledge representation to patient data classification is examined, in the context of integrating clinical decision support systems and contextually appropriate guidelines into EMR systems. The role of messaging and content standards for the EMR is considered, covering the existing standards today, and those under active development that are likely to influence system implementation and functionality in the near future.

Integrating Device Data into the Electronic Medical Record $65 Future generations of vital signs and point-of-care medical devices must interoperate directly and seamlessly with information technology systems to facilitate effective patient care management within the healthcare enterprise. This is the first book addressing medical device integration with the computer-based patient record in a holistic way. Readers step into the area of two-way device communication & control and learn best practises from an author known for his brilliant expertise in this field. It is a fundamental guide for a broad group of people: clinical and biomedical engineers, physicians, bioinformatics practitioners, and vendors. Providing the essential how-to for medical device integration into the electronic medical record (EMR), health information system (HIS), and computerized patient record (CPR), the book highlights information on data extraction, usually not offered by device vendors. This comprises topics such as the use of third-party software, information on what to do when you develop interfaces on your own, regulatory issues, and how to assure connectivity and access to data. For physicians, it is a primer and knowledge manual for data integration when applied to clinical care and trials. It gives information on knowledge management and how data can be used statistically and as a tool in patient care management. Furthermore, it impresses upon the reader the quantities of data that must be processed and reduced to make for effective use at the point of care. HIS and CPR vendors may learn how data integration can be simplified and how software developers may be assisted in the process of communicating vital information to their repositories. The book is rounded off by a chapter on the future of integration.
