Electronic Medical Record Systems Implications for Third Parties

Electronic Medical Record Systems Implications for Government Agencies

The government agencies have varying degrees of interest in and authority to influence Electronic Medical Record Systems EHRs development and implementation. The agencies will be able to provide substantial funding for research and development of EHRs Electronic Medical Record Systems technology. In addition, the government can support standards development through funding or a regulatory mandate.

Electronic Medical Record Systems Implications for Educational Institutes and Research Centers

The efficiency and effectiveness of medical research are directly linked to the accessibility, validity, and completeness of necessary medical data. With the EHRs Electronic Medical Record Systems, researches will be able to identify quickly a study population of records that meet certain eligibility criteria. The Electronic Medical Record Systems EHRs can facilitate more valid and precise research because a larger sample of patient records can be studied.

Electronic Medical Record Systems Advantages

The Electronic Medical Record Systems EHRs system, in addition, offers several advantages for education. According to Dick, Steen and Detmer, for example, professional schools (i.e., schools of medicine, nursing, and dentistry) would be able to use the Electronic Medical Record Systems EHRs information to teach healcare professions students and organize conferences and presentations.

Electronic Medical Record Systems Concerns

However, Ball and Collen stated that there were some concerns relating to the ease of use, completeness and accuracy of data, data confidentiality, and system security. Thus, development of the Electronic Medical Record Systems EHRs should focus on the human interface such that the Electronic Medical Record Systems responds quickly and easy to use.

Electronic Medical Record Systems Implications for Medical Professionals

Electronic Medical Record Systems Implications and Impacts for Medical Professionals

The implications of the Electronic Medical Record Systems for medical professionals are they have to learn to use a new technology, and have to change their behavior. Some physicians or nurses may view the Electronic Medical Record Systems or EHRs as a threat to their professional roles and resist implementation of Electronic Medical Record Systems.

Alternatively, professionals may support the development of the Electronic Medical Record Systems by participating in planning and influencing their peers. In addition, the medical professionals will be able to improve efficiency and quality of healthcare services using the Electronic Medical Record Systems.

Electronic Medical Record Systems Implications and Impacts

This section will discuss implications and impacts of the Electronic Medical Record Systems related to patients, medical professionals, and the third parties, such as the government agencies, insurance companies, and educational and research institutes.

Electronic Medical Record Systems Implications and Impacts for Patients

In regards to the decision of the government to implement the electronic health record systems or Electronic Medical Record Systems, there are a number of benefits for patients. For example, the patients will be able to manage their own healthcare by themselves. They will also be able to verify their billing. However, the patients still have concerns about the privacy of their personal information, and the security of Electronic Medical Record Systems.

In addition, patients are no more likely than health care professionals to use or understand the computer. Patients may distrust the Electronic Medical Record Systems and may select healthcare provides on the basis of the use of an Electronic Medical Record Systems.

Electronic Medical Record Systems Background

Current, the government announced that the country is to become the leader to put medical records on an electronic database or Electronic Medical Record Systems (EMR). The new Electronic Medical Record Systems will replace paper records within two years.

Because of the Electronic Medical Record Systems, many people have concerned about patients' privacy and security of the system. They recommended that the government should legislate privacy and security safeguards to guarantee the patients' information or the Electronic Medical Record information.

Introduction to Electronic Medical Record Systems

Electronic Medical Record (EMR) Systems Introduction

We will analyze an issue that involves the decision of the new government to implement the Electronic Medical Record Systems (EMR System) in the country. Wewill discuss the Electronic Medical Record Systems implication and impact for patients, medical professionals, and other related agencies. The Electronic Medical Record Systems technology related to security will also be examined. Finally, we will provide a set of the Electronic Medical Record Systems strategies and recommendation.

Four Main Systems related for the Electronic Medical Record Systems

1. Computerized Patient Records (CPRs)
2. Electronic Medical Records (EMRs)
3. Electronic Patient Records (EPRs)
4. Electronic Health Records (EHRs)

We will use the Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) in this report.
