Applications Learning ObjectivesWrite about:• Types of application software used in health
care organizations– Functionality– End users
• Medical records evolution from paper to EHR• Clinical decision support software vs. [?]• Executive information systems• Applications for research and medical
education
![Page 3: Austin and Boxerman chapter 8](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/546d5137b4af9f7a2c8b539d/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Application software
• An “application” is a piece of software designed to do something specific
• E.g. Microsoft Office comprises a number of major applications– Word– Excel– Powerpoint– Access– Outlook
![Page 4: Austin and Boxerman chapter 8](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/546d5137b4af9f7a2c8b539d/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Standalone vs. Integration
• Best of its type vs. best integrated suite• Basic functionality – pretty much solved?• Interoperability• Standards favor integration
![Page 5: Austin and Boxerman chapter 8](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/546d5137b4af9f7a2c8b539d/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Migrating
• Migrating from “legacy” standalone to integrated system can be daunting– Different applications came into use at different
times• Financial earliest• Clinical information systems more recent
– Mr. Strickland’s COBOL joke – just maintaining legacy systems can be a problem
![Page 6: Austin and Boxerman chapter 8](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/546d5137b4af9f7a2c8b539d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
A digression about COBOL• Grace Hopper, 1959. Common Business-
Oriented Language• Example of COBOL statementADD YEARS TO AGE • By comparison, C and Java useage := age + years; • Orage += years;
![Page 7: Austin and Boxerman chapter 8](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/546d5137b4af9f7a2c8b539d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Health Records(intro to electronic health records)
• Document patient care for later reference by provider
• Communication among providers• Document patient care for – accounting and billing– data for health services research– Management to improve quality, reduce cost
![Page 8: Austin and Boxerman chapter 8](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/546d5137b4af9f7a2c8b539d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Health records
• Mostly paper, still• Electronic data entry or electronic
communication → paper inserted into record
![Page 9: Austin and Boxerman chapter 8](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/546d5137b4af9f7a2c8b539d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Institute of Medicine
– An independent non-profit agency which gives advice to the US government
• 1991, 1997 reports favoring electronic medical records
• Laid out what electronic medical records (called EHR in textbook) should do
![Page 10: Austin and Boxerman chapter 8](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/546d5137b4af9f7a2c8b539d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
IOM: EHR should
• Data about diagnostic and treatment events retrievable electronically – No redundancy
• Real time data entry and retrieval– What you enter goes straight in– You can get out what you need now
![Page 11: Austin and Boxerman chapter 8](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/546d5137b4af9f7a2c8b539d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
EHR should (continued)
• Link scheduling, billing, referrals• Data can be interchanged with oversight
agencies and partner organizations• Real time access by providers to diagnosis and
treatment information• Individual patients can access their own
records– Last two subject to confidentiality rules
![Page 12: Austin and Boxerman chapter 8](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/546d5137b4af9f7a2c8b539d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Progress towards EHR
• Electronic medical records (their term) are common.– Images of paper, or optical character reader to
create electronic information from paper
• Electronic patient record (their term) less common– Works across organizations
![Page 13: Austin and Boxerman chapter 8](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/546d5137b4af9f7a2c8b539d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
EHR
• All medical and health records connected by unique identifier, no matter where data stored– New definition of EHR?
• Will require national standards• Now, competing standards by vendors for
communication among their applications
![Page 14: Austin and Boxerman chapter 8](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/546d5137b4af9f7a2c8b539d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
VistA
• Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture – Most advanced in US
• Other efforts– Vendors’ systems for hospitals, doctors’ offices– Academic medical centers
![Page 15: Austin and Boxerman chapter 8](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/546d5137b4af9f7a2c8b539d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Clinical Information Systems
• Support diagnosis, treatment, and evaluation• Most systems in place have limited scope• Embed clinical practice guidelines– Require justification for going beyond rules
• Standard (“evidence based”) treatment plans for comparison with your idiosyncratic effort
• Often, separate systems, not integrated– Departmental decisionmaking (“best of breed”)– The following slides are about departmental systems
![Page 16: Austin and Boxerman chapter 8](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/546d5137b4af9f7a2c8b539d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Clinical Information System:
Laboratory systems• Automated test processing– Computer-driven analysis of samples
• Functions– Record test requisitions (orders)– Schedule specimen collection– Output from instruments goes to computer– Calculations– Record test results
![Page 17: Austin and Boxerman chapter 8](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/546d5137b4af9f7a2c8b539d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Laboratory systems
• Functions (continued)– Alerts for follow-up– Summary reports for patient– Summary reports for lab– Maintain records for quality control– Monitoring productivity
![Page 18: Austin and Boxerman chapter 8](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/546d5137b4af9f7a2c8b539d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Pharmacy
• Once good standalone systems were developed,• The next move is to intergrated systems,– So pharmacy orders can be made or viewed from
anywhere
• Screening and flagging functions not standardized– Competing systems for spotting drug interactions,
dose checking, allergy flagging, duplicate prescription flagging, weight-based dosing for pediatric patients, …
![Page 21: Austin and Boxerman chapter 8](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/546d5137b4af9f7a2c8b539d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
