Study Notes
Accessing Health Records
- First step: patients should request their health records from healthcare providers
- HIPAA gives patients the right to access, inspect, and obtain a copy of their health records
Telehealth Technology Risks
- Privacy and security risks include unauthorized access, data breaches, and cyber attacks
HIPAA Violation Citations
- Three common reasons: failure to implement appropriate safeguards, lack of policies and procedures, and inadequate training
ePHI Safeguards
- Physical safeguards of ePHI include locked file rooms, secure computers, and restricted access
Healthcare Stakeholders
- Besides providers and clients, healthcare stakeholders include family members, caregivers, and payers
Data Analysis
- Structured method used to analyze serious adverse events is root cause analysis
- Data mining is used to analyze large datasets to improve patient outcomes
- Data is transformed into information through analysis and interpretation
EHR Systems
- Electronic Health Records (EHRs) allow stored information to be instantly searched, retrieved, combined, and reported in different ways
- Benefits of EHRs include improved quality of care, increased efficiency, and enhanced patient safety
Meaningful Use
- Primary reason for adopting BCMA (Bar Code Medication Administration) was to improve patient safety
- Decision support within EHRs provides alerts, reminders, and clinical decision support
- MIPS (Merit-based Incentive Payment System) replaces meaningful use for physicians
- ONC (Office of the National Coordinator) oversees the meaningful use program
- Two objectives of meaningful use as defined by ARRA (American Reinvestment and Recovery Act) are to improve quality, safety, and efficiency, and to promote the electronic exchange of health information
System Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
- Process that begins with conception and continues through implementation is systems analysis and design
- System should be activated during the implementation phase to be effectively used by end users
- Three tasks included in the design phase during SDLC are data gathering, system design, and prototyping
Patient Engagement
- Act that recognizes patients' need for more power in their healthcare and emphasizes access to information is the 21st Century Cures Act
- Patients who are most able to engage in their own care are those with higher health literacy
Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)
- Critical step in HCI emphasizes the ease of use and effectiveness of technology systems
Health Information Exchange (HIE)
- Primary goal of HIE is to improve quality of care by sharing patient information among healthcare providers
- HIE impacts the cost of patient care by reducing unnecessary tests and procedures
