Methods of Documentation VII: EMR

1.2K
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...

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation III: AED Use

280
Introduction to AEDAn Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a portable medical device that analyzes the heart's rhythm and, if necessary, delivers an electrical shock to help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm during sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). SCA occurs when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating, leading to a loss of blood flow to the brain and other vital organs. In such emergencies, time is of the essence, and using an AED, combined with Cardiopulmonary...

Apical-Radial (A-R) Pulse Assessment
The A-R pulse assessment involves simultaneous evaluation of the apical and radial pulses. When the apical and radial pulse rates vary, this assessment helps identify a pulse deficit.

Methods of Documentation II: POMR

1.2K
The Problem-Oriented Medical Record (POMR) revolutionized medical record-keeping by introducing a systematic approach focusing on the patient's problems rather than merely listing symptoms. Dr. Lawrence Weed's introduction of this method in the 1960s marked a significant advancement in medical documentation. The POMR framework consists of four key components: the database, problem list, plan of care, and progress notes.

Manipulation and Analysis

GIS manipulation and analysis functions are vital for decision-making and planning. These activities range from data retrieval tasks, such as selecting information based on specific criteria, to advanced analytical techniques that address complex spatial problems.One critical GIS analysis method is overlaying, which combines multiple data layers to examine impacts. For example, overlaying a river-dammed lake boundary with road networks can identify affected infrastructure. Another common...

    Area of Science:

    • Emergency Medical Services (EMS)
    • Prehospital Care Research
    • Professional Practice Analysis

    Background:

    • The EMS Practice Analysis framework defines the scope of work for EMS professionals.
    • This study presents the 2019 National Advanced Life Support (ALS) EMS Practice Analysis for advanced EMT (AEMT) and paramedic certification levels.
    • The analysis aims to define current EMS professional work and establish a template for future practice analyses.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To define the work performed by AEMT and paramedic certified EMS professionals.
    • To establish a new template for conducting future EMS practice analyses.
    • To identify common clinical presentations, their criticality, and associated tasks, knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs).

    Main Methods:

    • Phase 1: Analyzed the 2016 National Emergency Medical Services Information System (NEMSIS) dataset to determine the frequency of EMS clinical presentations.
    • Phase 2: Surveyed nationally certified EMS professionals and medical directors to assess the criticality and potential harm of identified clinical presentations.
    • Phase 3: Utilized focus groups of subject matter experts to define specific tasks and KSAs for AEMT and paramedic levels.

    Main Results:

    • Common adult presentations include traumatic injury, abdominal pain, respiratory distress/arrest, behavioral disorders, and syncope. Pediatric presentations share similarities, with seizure also being common.
    • Critical adult and pediatric conditions with the highest potential for harm include airway obstruction, respiratory distress/arrest, cardiac arrest, hypovolemia/shock, allergic reaction, and stroke/CVA.
    • The analysis defined 425 tasks and 1,734 KSAs for paramedics and 405 tasks and 1,636 KSAs for AEMTs.

    Conclusions:

    • The 2019 ALS Practice Analysis provides a comprehensive description of prehospital practice for AEMTs and paramedics.
    • This detailed evaluation of EMS care, focusing on specific tasks per certification level, can inform scope of practice and educational standards.
    • The findings are valuable for validating certification examinations and ensuring alignment between training and practice in advanced prehospital care.
