What is informatics?
Accounts for developing, designing, adopting, and applying technologies in health
care to improve delivery of service and improve quality and safety of care.
What is the role of informatics in healthcare?
To improve delivery, quality, and safety of services
How effective are EHRs?
EHRs are a standard part of nursing and medical care.
There are pros and unintended consequences of EHR use in health care: Dramatic
savings, shared knowledge, patient participation, the impersonalization of care,
improve coordination, and improve outcomes.
How does the EHR impact the quality and safety of care?
By reducing medical errors. Using a system approach.
Analyze the role of EMR in reducing errors and improving patient
outcomes.
EHRs improve risk management by:
1. Providing clinical alerts and reminders
2. Improving aggregation, analysis, and communication of patient information
3. making it easier to consider all aspects of a patient's condition
4. Supporting diagnostic and therapeutic decision making
5. Gathering all relevant information in one place
6. Support for therapeutic decisions
7. enabling EB decisions at point of care
8. Preventing adverse events
9. Providing built-in safeguard against prescribing treatments that would result in
adverse events
10. Enhancing research and monitoring for improvements in clinical quality.
Review the benefits of Medical technology in education of health care
providers and patients
Greater patient care
improved public health
ease of workflow
lower healthcare costs
better and safer data storage
improved access to big data
centralized data point
the risk of medical records hacking
