Methods of Documentation VII: EMR

824
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...

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Perioperative Medicine
  • Clinical Decision Support Systems

Background:

  • Unnecessary perioperative testing contributes to increased healthcare costs and resource utilization.
  • Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems offer platforms for integrating clinical decision support (CDS) tools.
  • The Anesthesia Testing Guidelines (ATG) application was developed to address perioperative testing overutilization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of an EMR-embedded CDS application (ATG) in reducing unnecessary perioperative testing.
  • To assess the impact of ATG implementation on healthcare costs and the quality of care.
  • To determine the potential for ATG to transform organizational behavior and medical practices.

Main Methods:

  • The study involved the phased development and implementation of the ATG application within an EMR system.
  • A comprehensive training and education toolkit was created to promote ATG adoption.
  • Proportions of patients with overutilized perioperative tests were compared between baseline and ATG implementation cohorts.

Main Results:

  • Overutilization of perioperative tests decreased by a significant 12.2% (p < 0.0001) after ATG implementation.
  • Costs associated with chest X-rays and complete metabolic panels were reduced by 46% and 39%, respectively.
  • Overall health system costs decreased by 22% from baseline, with an initial 7.5% reduction in monthly overutilization.

Conclusions:

  • The CDS application ATG is an effective strategy for reducing unnecessary preoperative testing.
  • Implementation of ATG maintains the quality of care while improving cost avoidance.
  • This CDS approach can transform organizational behavior and medical practices, enhancing the value of care.
