PR-USA.net

“As more and more consumers see their doctors using electronic health records (EHRs), trust in doctors is high and patients have confidence that health information technology (health IT) can improve the quality and coordination of care. Those with online access to their own medical records are especially supportive of health IT. But consumers have persistent concerns that data breaches will occur.

Operating room coordination with the eWhiteboard: the fine line between successful and challenged technology adoption

Taneva S et al, Health and Technology, 2011

With the goal to achieve a better understanding of the challenges to communication technology adoption in the clinical setting, we conducted intensive observations of activities of clinical and administrative staff in a large teaching hospital’s surgical unit prior to and 8-months post-implementation of an electronic whiteboard communication tool (eWhiteboard). The hospital IT department developed the e-Whiteboard for the support of inter-team coordination of patient status within the surgical flow. After the system had been integrated into the work process for 8 months, we conducted another round of intensive observations. The RATE data collection platform was utilized in both studies. Data were coded and analyzed quantitatively. Qualitative observational notes complemented the statistical results. We compared the pre- and post-implementation observational data with regard to communication load, types of coordination breakdowns, triggers, and consequences. Additionally, a questionnaire on perceived usefulness of the eWhiteboard was administered.

Do You Trust the Cloud for EHRs?

Neil Versel, EMR and HIPAA

“Crounse cited a new CDW poll showing that 30 percent of healthcare organizations could be considered “cloud adopters,” and for good reason. “The flexibility, scalability and lower costs associated with moving certain line of business applications to the cloud are compelling, especially for an industry like healthcare. After all, the primary focus of hospitals and clinics is caring for patients, not running an IT empire. There’s not a CIO, CFO, CEO, COO, CNO, CMIO, or CMO who wouldn’t love to shift some of their IT spending to delivering better care to the communities they serve,” Crounse wrote.
