EMRConsultant.com General Information http://www.emrconsultant.com/forum/index.php Sat, 19 Feb 2005 02:03:41 +0000 240 http://www.emrconsultant.com/forum/topic/4-welcome-to-emrconsultantcoms-forum/
I would like to welcome you to EMRConsultant.com's forum on Electronic Medical Records.

In this forum we offer to you an opportunity to discuss the industry in general, as well the specific companies in the industry. We hope that you tell us about news that you discover, as well as your own experiences with the subject matter.

In an exciting, and I believe unprecedented twist, we are attempting to provide to you an opportunity to share templates bewteen various EMR products.

Yes - we acknowledge that this is an exceedingly complex process, and we do not expect that it will flow smoothly and freely from stage one.

However, I have personally developed thousands of templates, all maintained in an Access database. I will systematically extract them, with appropriate information concerning a methodology of 'importing' them into your own EMR.

Yes - I realize that you cannot just 'import' a flat MS Word document into your software. However, I am optimistic that, with the assistance of many talented physicians and other interested software programmers, a system will become available allowing reasonable importation and exportation of medical content, albeit with a modicum of cutting and pasting, between a rather large variety of modern EMRs.

Please feel free to contact me, or any of the staff at EMRConsultant.com, at 1.888.519.3100, anytime.

Yours,

Eric Fishman, MD

This information is stored and transmitted electronically (i.e. flash drive, secure email, etc…) or displayed on paper for the purpose of providing this information for the next provider. More specifically the information is organized and current and coded in the interoperable XML (extensible markup language) multi-language that can be read by EMRs, MS Word, web browsers, email, and many others. The CCR has been created by a consortium of institutions in healthcare IT with appropriate development standards in place.
What the CCR is NOT a EMR/EHR. This is because a CCR lacks the lifelong healthcare record of the patient, it cannot be available universally by one or many healthcare professionals, and also lacks a patient identifier. The CCR is not considered a portion of the medical record (i.e. discharge summary, progress note, etc...) This is because the CCR is not restricted to the data from only one patient encounter.
The CCR is important because it can increase patient safety, reduce cost, and some strongly believe it is the bridge for EMR interoperability.

I hope this helps.

Does anyone have any experience related to what patient information needs to be back-filled from the paper chart before go-live? We are planning on back-filling the immunization records and we do have scanning capabilities. What information was most useful to have in the EMR at go-live?

Has anyone here been to TEPR this year? Any comments about the show? Are there any new compelling clear winners in technology, or is it still anybody's guess which is the best system? Any help would be appreciated.
