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,...

Prescription, Nonprescription and Orphan Drugs

Prescription drugs require a prescription from a medical practitioner and can only be obtained from a pharmacy. They have many applications, including treating pain, anxiety, and hypertension.
The misuse and addiction to prescription drugs is a growing problem that can affect people of all age groups, specifically teenagers. This can happen when prescription medications are used in ways not intended by the prescriber, such as taking someone else's prescription or using medication for...

Drug Products: Biologics, Biosimilars and Interchangeables

Biologics, derived from living sources such as humans, animals, or microorganisms, represent a significant category of pharmaceuticals. These complex molecules, developed through advanced biotechnological methods or purified from natural sources, include essential medical treatments like insulin and growth hormones. The complexity of biologics arises from their large molecular structures and the intricate processes required for their production, making them distinct from conventional...

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
Cost Containment
Payment for healthcare services has historically promoted adoption of costly and often unnecessary or inefficient...
Integrated Healthcare System01:20

Integrated Healthcare System

An integrated healthcare system (IHS) is a set of organizations that provides for or arranges to provide coordinated and continuous service to a defined population. The IHS takes responsibility for that particular population's health status and outcome, both clinically and fiscally. An integrated healthcare system is a well-organized, well-coordinated, and collaborative network. The integrated delivery system is a network that connects different healthcare providers to deliver organized,...

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Healthcare Policy
  • Clinical Practice

Background:

  • Physician adoption of electronic prescribing (e-prescribing) is gradually increasing.
  • Handwritten prescriptions remain the predominant method among U.S. physicians.
  • Significant barriers impede widespread e-prescribing implementation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the current state and challenges of electronic prescribing adoption in the U.S.
  • To identify key factors hindering the transition from handwritten to electronic prescriptions.
  • To assess the role of governmental and private incentives in promoting e-prescribing.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of current trends in physician prescribing practices.
  • Identification of major technological and regulatory barriers to e-prescribing.
  • Review of policy and financial incentives influencing adoption.

Main Results:

  • Electronic prescribing adoption is slowly growing despite widespread handwritten prescription use.
  • Key barriers include inability to electronically prescribe controlled substances and data exchange standard ambiguities.
  • Incentives from governments and insurers are being used to encourage e-prescribing.

Conclusions:

  • E-prescribing holds promise for enhancing healthcare quality and efficiency.
  • Overcoming current barriers requires additional policy efforts and financial investments.
  • National-scale benefits of e-prescribing are achievable with further strategic initiatives.
