Medical records electronic

With electronic medical records, multiple clinical records for the same patient may be treated as belonging to different patients during anonymization and migration of electronic medical records, tainting analytical conclusions. This problem may be difficult to untangle once the anonymized data migration takes place. 

Limited Knowledge of Exposure and Reporting Rates in Postmarketing Data. Unlike clinical trials and electronic medical records in clinical practice, postmarketing voluntarily reported data contain limited information about the total number of patients exposed and the duration of exposure. This problem is compounded by the fact that adverse events are often underreported [2,9]. 

These data can then be fed into electronic medical records (EMR) such as those the NHS plans to introduce throughout the UK over the next 2 years. This represents a process that will ultimately both reduce the frequency with which patients have to visit their doctor and improve health care delivery. EMR or electronic personal health records (as they are also known) have already been established, or are being established, in many European nations, such as Denmark. The United States, with its decentralized health care industry, is behind the curve in these efforts. However, in early fall of 2005, IBM and eight other IT companies that form the Technology CEO Council (TCC), including Intel, HP, Dell, Motorola, EMC, Applied Materials, NCR, and Unisys committed to adopt electronic health records based on open standards. In addition to these private sector efforts, the US Department of...

Most analytical devices used in clinical laboratories are directly linked or connected via an electronic interface to a laboratory information system (LIS). In this progression, many different informatic functions (see Chapter 18) are used, including the electronic transfer of data from the analyzers to the LIS and ultimately into a patient s electronic medical record. This provides healthcare professionals with quick, accurate, and appropriate access to the patient s medical history and information. 

Presence of an integrated electronic medical records system. 

It may be mission critical to the profession for pharmacists to gain or maintain read/write privileges where all pharmaceutical care contributions can be viewed by all caregivers. Additionally, pharmacists will need to be able to access diagnosis, laboratory, and other charted information such as demographics on a common medical record. Thus, at a minimum, it will be necessary for all pharmacy software to be able to be integrated into the electronic medical records as they emerge.
