Methods of Documentation VII: EMR01:30

Methods of Documentation VII: EMR

1.6K
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...

Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model

1.0K
The case management model is a multidisciplinary approach that involves healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines, such as physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, and pharmacists, working collaboratively to address the various needs of patients. Each healthcare professional brings unique expertise and perspectives, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition and tailoring treatment plans accordingly.
For example, a patient with a chronic...

Methods of Documentation V: CBE

1.4K
Charting by Exception, or CBE, is a method of documentation used in healthcare, particularly in nursing, that focuses on documenting only significant or abnormal findings rather than recording every detail. This approach aims to streamline the documentation process, improve efficiency, and ensure that healthcare providers can quickly identify deviations from normalcy in patient assessments.
In CBE, healthcare professionals establish predefined standards of practice that define what constitutes...

Development of the Limb Synovial Joints

5.0K
Joints form during embryonic development in conjunction with the formation and growth of the associated bones. The embryonic tissue that gives rise to all bones, cartilage, and connective tissues of the body is called mesenchyme.
The mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into chondrocytes that form the hyaline cartilage, and later the cartilaginous model of the bone. This model further transforms into a bone. This process is known as endochondral ossification.
During development, the limbs...

Methods of Documentation III: PIE

Problem-intervention-evaluation (PIE) is a systematic approach to documentation used in healthcare settings for clinical decision-making and patient care planning. It is a structured approach to organizing patient data based on problems, interventions, and evaluations. Here's a breakdown of its key features and considerations:

Changes in the Appendicular Skeleton with Age

3.2K
The upper and lower limb initially develops as a small bulge called a limb bud, which appears on the lateral side of the early embryo. The upper limb bud appears near the end of the fourth week of development, with the lower limb bud appearing shortly after.
Initially, the limb buds consist of a core of mesenchyme covered by a layer of ectoderm. The ectoderm at the end of the limb bud thickens to form a narrow crest called the apical ectodermal ridge. This ridge stimulates the underlying...

Area of Science:

  • Hand surgery
  • Congenital anomalies
  • Medical documentation

Background:

  • Congenital absent digits are described using numerous confusing terms and complex classifications.
  • Existing classification systems lack a logical basis for surgical reconstruction.
  • Effective communication of hand anomalies is crucial for patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a simple alphanumeric documentation system for congenital absent digits.
  • To reproducibly describe the morphological and radiographic appearance of these anomalies.
  • To facilitate clear communication among hand surgeons regarding pediatric hand anomalies.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of 235 hands from 204 children with congenital absent digits over 15 years.
  • Utilized dorsal/palmar photographs and PA radiographs to identify missing digital rays and their level of absence.
  • Developed a three-letter (R, C, U) and number (1-5) system to describe missing and present rays.

Main Results:

  • Identified 15 distinct morphological phenotypes of congenital absent digits.
  • The most common phenotypes include U4R1 (absence of four fingers), R1U4 (absent thumb), and R5 (aplastic hand).
  • The new system effectively categorizes diverse presentations of congenital hand differences.

Conclusions:

  • The new system provides a straightforward method for describing congenital absent digits based on morphology or radiographs.
  • It integrates previous classification systems for radial, central, and ulnar deficiencies, symbrachydactyly, and constriction ring syndrome.
  • This system enables the development of an algorithm to guide surgical reconstruction decisions (conventional or microsurgical).
