Data shared in an EHR can help clinicians choose the right medication for a patient with allergies, for example, or provide history on an unresponsive patient when they arrive at an emergency room. An EHR can also play a role in public health outcomes by allowing clinicians to look more meaningfully at patient data when it comes to their current medications and specific conditions such as high blood pressure or low blood sugar.
The path to high functionality is a slow process. When it works, it is a beautiful thing. Mount Sinai has no shortage of exposure when it comes to EHR systems. In its work with Epic its EHR vendor over the course of roughly 20 years, the system has grown from a single EHR for ambulatory care to a full implementation across all departments in five hospitals.
With plans to expand the EHR to a sixth hospital in May and a seventh by , Mount Sinai is working closely with its vendor to ensure the system is evolving as necessary.
Mount Sinai has seen measurable successes from its EHR implementations and ongoing adaptations. Among them: an increase in timely patient discharges, a decreased number of days spent in the hospital and a higher telemetry capacity. On emergencies or life threatening situations where patients are unable to provide information, electronic records about the patient will prove to be invaluable.
Doctors can access patient files and results almost immediately without having to wait for their secretary. Loss of billing patients are not double billed is practically impossible. Because of the time saved and easy access to their own schedule, doctors can now see and treat more patients.
Staff can handle scheduling and appointments, other staff can take vital readings and the doctor can just see the data on his end. Ask your patients.
It made a difference to that patient. Much like doctors, the patients are also busy and making them wait 30 — 60 minutes just to be seen by a physician is definitely an experience that nobody sees as positive.
An EMR can also help remind patients about their consultation and receive reminders for preventive care. SeriousMD has an inbuilt reminder feature that can help you keep patient no-show rates down, for example.
