Homework B: Electronic Health Record (EHR)
Ehrenstein et al. (2019) defined an Electronic Health Record (EHR) as an electronic system used and maintained by healthcare systems to collect and store patients' medical information. The medical information is also called data which can be used across clinical care and healthcare administration to capture a variety of medical information from individual patients over time and can be used for a variety of reasons such as in research and also to improve quality of care (Ehrenstein et al., 2019). Patient registries use observational study methods to collect uniform data (clinical and other). Patient Registries also evaluate specified outcomes over a period of time for a population defined by a particular disease, condition, or exposure, and that serves one or more predetermined scientific, clinical, or policy purposes (Ehrenstein et al., 2019). Both EHR and registries use data to help with the overall quality of care.
Integrate how data in healthcare can improve quality of care.
Include the following aspects in the homework:
1) Explain, in detail, the relevance of EHR and registries, and how it affects quality of care.
2) Describe the potential challenges, errors, and quality issues in reaching HER registry interoperability.
3) What are some ways for EHR and registries to improve health systems data?
4) Why is secondary data important to healthcare?
