No charges should be made for upgrades anymore. It is very difficult to get management to buy in to changing a system. Most of the problems I see in practices who don't like their system is lack of training. Management many times use only a portion of the functions leaving other functions to work poorly, such as incomplete reports. With insurance companies holding back on payments in 2009 and patients facing higher deductibles and copays (lower volume of patients), there isn't much money around for investing in new systems. It would be great if Google or other deep pockets came out with a cost effective system.<br />Caryn Isaacs, EMR implementerCaryn Isaacshttp://reli.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-44835631123667411532009-09-23T19:47:04.975-07:002009-09-23T19:47:04.975-07:00The obvious next step is a free EMR for physicians...The obvious next step is a free EMR for physicians, clinics, emergency departments and hospitals. It's the fastest way to grow the user base, when the product is being promoted by the patient's doctor. Allow each party to decide which information can be automatically shared between the practitioner's and the individuals. Let that information flow seamlessly. I work in a busy emergency department. Our EMR software is absolute crap, and it is the best of three different providers I have been trained and practiced on. Yes this will be a big project, but right now facilities have arcane dos or some proprietary variant based ridiculous garbage. No two systems can talk to another and if you've ever used SQL and you see what these want you to do to get a report written you will hang your head and cry. And we pay TONS of $$ for it, and every time we want it to work right they try to sell us a new 'upgrade' which supposedly will fix it but in fact creates 10 new problems if it works at all.

I've built a lot of them myself. There is simply no excuse to release, even in Beta, an application that cannot be properly polulated by the input form or completely printed by the print request. I added the results of several tests into the "test results" section. The layout provides for several attributes, among them the normal range. However there is no normal range input on the input form. One can add several results for the same test type taken on different days. However, you cannot print all the results out to see how a particular test changed over time.

For example, a doctor Z treated a condition Y with a drug X for a period of time. He also published why he used the particular drug X. If another doctor A comes up with a similar case and he comes across this information that Doctor Z used, would it help this other doctor A to first understand why doctor Z made his choice and then decide whether to approach it with the same thinking? Of course, all this assumes that there is real data available in the form of EMR and patient personal data is masked.

There are tools out there to help patients with such decisions, but with out support from the medical community, they have not become popular. My company has used this tag line since 1990, when I introduced it at the Public Health Physicians Assoc. convention. "When patients are given the appropriate resources, patients,providers and payers equalize expectations and outcomes." Back then, I had the idea to use a 900 telephone number for patients to call in for advice. There were some other startups around the same time doing similar work using 800 numbers. We were all shut down by the medical community's outcry that patients needed to be examined in person. Amazon.com has many copies of the American Medical Association's Encyclopedia of Medicine, which uses a symptom approach to prioritizing care, for less than 5 dollars, including shipping. Another effort that came and went was the offer for free televisions with medical programing in the waiting room, in exchange for a few pharmacy ads being used after each program. Now, our offices use an interactive program to prioritize patient care using Google searches to educate our patients. We don't have to reinvent the wheel, we just need a commitment from physicians to use and recommend the resources that are out there. This is the new role that doctors can take to get out from under the managed care industry.Carynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15773953166231147901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-2662196594574836272007-11-17T12:01:00.000-08:002007-11-17T12:01:00.000-08:00THE PHR PANACEA...As a physician, I am frustrated ...THE PHR PANACEA...<BR/>As a physician, I am frustrated by the unrealistically high expectations surrounding PHR's and how they are going to suddenly enlighten consumers to make better health care decisions. It’s high time that the PHR discourse is put into perspective. Medical records are a historical archive of clinical transactions--- intended to guide future care. Physicians invest significant time in their training learning how to create and interpret medical records and use this information for decision making. Why is it that consumers are expected to obtain similar benefits sans a medical degree? Don’t get me wrong I am fully pro-PHR. Allowing consumers’ control of this information allows them to participate in their care, but most importantly, it will make it less likely some ER doctor needs to fly blind.<BR/><BR/>Interestingly, although consumers are the initiators of the health care services (i.e. you decide when you are sick), nobody has leveraged IT to assist people in making some basic health care decisions such as: <BR/><BR/>* Do I need to see a doctor for my symptoms? <BR/>* If so, when should I get care? Now? In a few days? <BR/>* Where should I go for care? <BR/><BR/>Tens of millions of symptomatic consumers fumble with these important decisions every day, and with startlingly limited information. A disturbing number of studies demonstrate that we are not doing a good job because as many 40% of patients, in our already overwhelmed emergency rooms, don’t need to be there. Then there’s that other problem: people who wait---and sadly, have their heart attack or stroke at home.<BR/><BR/>So how have we providers responded to all this? We have constructed urgent care clinics with the caveat that they only be used for urgent problems, but not emergencies. More recently, we have started building nurse retail clinics with the caveat that they only be used for minor conditions and some urgent care problems. In most cases this requires that you know your diagnosis before you go. Anyone lost yet? No problem at my house, like Roni Zieger MD, my family and friends, call me for advice. But like Dr. Zieger, I have to wonder, what does everyone else do?<BR/><BR/>I’m not saying stop the PHR project, but I challenge every doctor and engineer out there to leverage health informatics to build some first-ever tools that support consumers in making real access-to-care decisions.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04156480495043811997noreply@blogger.com
