Electronic Medical Record (EMR) Overview

Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) are Used by 80-90% of Hospitals and Physician Practices.
One Study Found that EMRs Have Lowered Patient Mortality by 0.09%.
The Two Major EMR Companies Epic and Cerner Control 51% of the Hospital EMR Market.
EMRs Have Low Interoperability... Different EMRs Generally Cannot Share Patient Data Across Different Hospital Systems or Different Physician Practices.
62% of a Doctor's Time with a Patient is Spent on the EMR... NOT the Patient.

My colleagues and I make it a point to NOT use the EMR during our face to face consult time Instead we update our EMR prior to the visit and complete it after the visit This adds a bit of time but certainly improves the patient experience

[@ahealthcarez]

Agreed. Great point!

[@explorerofunknownworlddept6232]

How could you update the EMR prior to a patient's visit? Would like to hear. Learned and experienced that Drs r also humans, they could randomly &/or carelessly (or even worse, under the specific conditions, to unlawfully alter the patients' medical data...) make patients' notes (the harm could be potentially substantial). Let's forever never forget the Hippocratic Oath 😢🎉!!!

[@Igneelzidius]

Direct and clear - Thank you for this!

[@ahealthcarez]

Thank you for watching and for your comment.

Yes! I’m a chart retrieval specialist. A majority of systems are ECW and Epic here in Massachusetts. Although different sites have the same electronic medical record system, each one is different. Athena, MDLand, Urocharts, and more are others. E-Clinical Works is my favorite. I can retrieve all progress notes for a patient within a year by highlighting each one and print to one PDF file. Epic, on the other hand, has me save each appointment separately. I figured that because EPIC is an EHR, it would allow for the same process as the older ECW EMR. (It drives physicians mad, and I don’t blame them!)

[@ahealthcarez]

Thank you for watching and for your comment.

[@okellokelly9516]

I love it, in Uganda we customized it to be Uganda EMR and its implemented in almost ART sites

[@ahealthcarez]

Super. Thank you for letting me know.

[@marcelluslett5716]

I tried to pay attention so bad, but I cant get over the fact that you look like dwight shrute from the office

[@ahealthcarez]

😉 I look like a lot of people. It’s ok. You don’t have to pay attention.

[@Fizzlemynizzle]

Bro 😂

[@dougphillips7339nwnwn]

Thank you for all of your efforts in educating the public on a subject that is very difficult to understand.

[@chrismcbee4653]

Thank you.

[@ahealthcarez]

Thank you for watching.

[@TYELERRR]

Very informative thank you. It is a must to watch this video in x2 playback speed sounds like an alien.

[@ahealthcarez]

🤣🤣 You never know! Thank you for watching.

[@EricPham-gr8pg]

This prevent malpractice and keep all condition monitored by AI on a continious rovers up and down the alse from family to surgeries and reduce cost of private practices and help utilize lab works in communication and utilize speech to text system so the doctor can dictate input while diagnostics at the same time

[@ahealthcarez]

Thank you for your comment.

[@pranjali123]

Hi! Can medical coders work as a EMR tech or there is a special certification is required for EMR technician?

[@rebeccaharmon9326]

There is not any such thing as an EMR Technician (don't pay for any classes/schooling or for a certification for this - it is not recognized in the industry). The EMR is a TOOL that everyone uses.

[@markhaye9377]

The question with all EMR is did it capture all of what actually happened or what was recorded for administrative and even financial reasons?

[@ahealthcarez]

Thanks Mark. As in many cases in healthcare... it depends.

[@achievecarerpm-ccm3517]

Your question, why do we still use a FAX is part of a bigger question why don’t we have a comprehensive Health Information Exchange (HIE) in 2021? Our government allows the aggregation and sales of health information obtained from billing and encounter claims, yet there seems to be no successful efforts to mandate that every EHR participate in an HIE. We know this is possible and yet the topic always seems to be overlooked?

[@ahealthcarez]

Excellent point. Thank you for sharing and for watching the video.

[@mistygoodwill]

Sounds like u need a patent ! And a programmer! I call dibs on your stock when this goes public

[@ronanderson5355]

I agree, it is an excellent point. I can't believe CMS missed out on the opportunity to mandate interoperability for EMR/EHR vendors to get certified for Meaningful Use certification. Huge miss as all the vendors would have had the perfect carrot incentive if they wanted to sell their software to practices wanting to take advantage of the incentive monies.

[@channel_panel193]

if i had to guess it's because EPIC is crooked

[@beasaroseco5840]

Im taking an electronic medical records job training program. Can this be connected with medical billing?

[@ahealthcarez]

Yes.

[@magicjuand]

are you familiar with FHIR, the interoperability standard for healthcare data? what have you heard about its adoption and if it's helping with this 'fax machine' problem in the real world?

[@channel_panel193]

wondering the same thing

[@mistygoodwill]

People still use fax machines??? Hmm I didn't realize

[@ahealthcarez]

Oh Yes. It’s bad. Thank you for watching.

[@mistygoodwill]

@@ahealthcarez thank you for the video! Im gonna check and see if you have more on h.i.m. .fascinating topic ,bit more educational then my content .please keep posting ,it's appreciated

[@jewbego5323]

Yes but a lot of it is via a CPU now.

[@rheijm9201]

I do not have to explain, Rise of Costs because of automation occur too. Specialist docs lack time. Nurses ar beavis and butthead. In general, we see ict take of in companies where staff can explain what they want and what its for, and where shopfloor workers are disciplined people (who btw dont leave company every half year). Hospitals aren t the best places for ict. Don t emphasize it, .. ok,lab and x ray..kinda practical have harddisks hmm..others? ..a phone works too, within the building its free of charge, a phone is in fact way less costly than email Not all people know what Exchange server, spam stuff, virus killers, archiving, front server plus Bill Gate license, well, that *email for ltds* is not email for consumers. Mit Anfangsbuchstaben and in Capitals written.

[@michaeljuergens302]

Haha! Why in the world do we still use fax machines?! Maybe they get a kick back for using fax machines…is it bad that I would not be surprised if they did.

[@ahealthcarez]

😉 It’s sad. Thank you for watching and for your comment.

[@explorerofunknownworlddept6232]

Fax machine is more reliable and accurate to transmit the critical and important information, in a safe guard mode, but not in this modern www., internet, digital automation, AI, robot types. U can't fix or adjust or alter the faxed contents, however the more modern methods could.

[@jillhigginson1641]

I don’t know why this popped up first on my feed but this video was a waste of my time. KZbin messed up on this one.
