Medical Emr Case Study
Satava, et al. (1994, July) tells us the increasing use of robotics, computers, and virtual reality depend upon this technology to create a "user-friendly" environment. With that being said there are so many computer programs out there that are amazing and make our lives so much better. But, there are also some that can at times drive us nuts. The one I feel could use improvement is the ability to copy and paste from PDF files into my medical EMRS. As a case manager and utilization review nurse for years, there have been hundreds of times I wish I could copy text from PDFs into my EMR's.

    HMS Emergency Medicine Interest Group Report

    It’s pretty much common sense that without members, there wouldn’t be an Organization. Or there could be one, where there only would be two to five members. But what reform can a group of five members bring, as opposed to what a group of hundreds or maybe thousands of students can? When make the National Organization of Collegiate American Students Needing Help (NOCASH), I would first look for people that share the same interest as me, that would be willing to become members, by putting up posters and giving out fliers that have our mission statements, easy to understand and explained, on it. Then comes the tricky part: Money. Without the funds, it is less likely that we would be able to succeed. With the members we have, we would make membership dues for about 3 to 5 dollars a person, and engage in direct mail solicitation to raise money, though that is less likely to achieve anything.…

On the outflow end, call backs for annual exams mammograms, test, colonoscopies, use to be very time consuming and labor intensive. Now the EMR can generated and perform these reminders with little or no human oversight. Vishwanat (2010) further pointed out the “some of the research to-date points to reduced satisfaction among physicians after implementation of the EMR and increased time, i.e., negative workflow effects p778. A large part of this dissatisfaction with with the EMR on the part of physicians is due to a refusal to adjust and modify workflows. Many providers are stuck in the dictation mode from days gone by when they used transcriptionist. Todays EMR allow for ease of charting which can not only document the physicians finding, but pull in data, labs, and even generate prescription all from the field used to create the progress note. Use of the new workflows result in quicker filling of script for patients, more complete medical records that support billing, and ultimately…
