Methods of Documentation VII: EMR01:30

Methods of Documentation VII: EMR

Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) primarily center around electronically documenting patients' health information within a single healthcare organization or practice. They contain essential clinical data related to a patient's medical history, diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, lab results, and other pertinent information relevant to the specific encounter or episode of care. EMRs are designed to streamline documentation and workflow processes within individual healthcare settings,...

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Pharmacy Management
  • Electronic Health Records

Background:

  • Traditional paper-based medication orders present challenges in communication and retrieval.
  • Existing systems like fax and pneumatic tubes have inherent inefficiencies and risks.
  • The need for a streamlined, electronic solution for medication order management is critical in healthcare settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the implementation of fax and document-imaging technology for electronic medication order communication.
  • To evaluate a pharmacy order imaging system for improved communication and document retrieval.
  • To transition from paper-based to electronic management of inpatient orders across a health system.

Main Methods:

  • A commercially available pharmacy order imaging system was selected and customized.
  • The system utilized existing fax machines and document-imaging software for order capture and transmission.
  • Pharmacists retrieved order images for entry into an electronic medical record system.

Main Results:

  • A 30-day trial was successfully completed at one hospital.
  • Implementation across six additional hospitals occurred over 60 days.
  • The transition to a standardized, electronic pharmacy document management application was achieved.

Conclusions:

  • A seven-hospital health system successfully implemented electronic communication for inpatient paper-chart orders.
  • The use of faxes and document-imaging technology eliminated problems associated with manual order delivery.
  • A standardized application improved medication order management and workflow efficiency.
