As digitization has paved its way in every stream, the same has occurred to maintaining of patient records, which when electronically controlled are termed as the Electronic patient records (EPR) or Electronic dental records (EDR) or Electronic medical records (EMR) pertaining to the dental details or the medical respectively. They would provide the advantages of well maintained paper records with benefits of cross-referencing the data by consulting specialists and help to integrate the medical and dental fraternity. The use of EDR is more widespread internationally in US and European countries compared to the developing ones. Many challenges do exist for a complete transition, including financial restraints, skill development, confidentiality of records and their standardization. In developing countries demographics makes it more difficult to apply the EDR but efforts are ongoing.

    Powell, Position Paper – Call for an Integrated (Medical/Dental) Health Care Model, RMU, December 2008 – Page 1/51 Call for an Integrated (Medical/Dental) Health Care Model that Optimally Supports Chronic Care, Pediatric Care, and Prenatal Care as a Basis for 21 st Century EHR Standards and Products: EHR Position Paper Based on a paper distributed at the Conference on the Electronic Health Record: Best Practices and New Horizons, Wake Forest University Translational Science Institute, Winston-Salem, NC, USA, October 1-3, 2008; and presented for the Institute for Medical Biometry and Medical Informatics (IMBI), Albert-Ludwigs- Universität, Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany, October 13, 2008 Valerie J. H. Powell, RT(R), PhD Franklin M. Din, DDS, MA University Professor Senior Informatics Consultant Computer and Information Systems Apelon, Inc., Robert Morris University Ridgefield, CT 06877 USA Moon Township, PA 15108 USA email: [email protected] e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Significant changes in the model for health care have been set in motion. Triggered by science and research and the evolution of medical and dental practice, a very costly domain in healthcare, chronic care , now demands that medical and dental care and data be integrated. To reduce the costs of such change and facilitate this change and to assure the highest quality care and safety for patients, the model that informs electronic health record standards, design and implementation needs to correspond to the anticipated model for integrated health care that supports communication among medical and dental providers, avoids discrepancies between records and information available to different providers for the same patient, optimally supports a wellness model of healthcare, and permits the greatest benefit to be derived from the collaboration of the medical and dental professions.

  • Personal Health Records: the People’S Choice? Lisa Sprague, Senior Research Associate
    Issue Brief – No. 820 November 30, 2006 Personal Health Records: The People’s Choice? Lisa Sprague, Senior Research Associate OVERVIEW — Information technology (IT), especially in the form of an electronic health record (EHR), is touted by many as a key component of meaningful improvement in health care delivery and outcomes. A personal health record (PHR) may be an element of an EHR or a stand-alone record. Proponents of PHRs see them as tools that will improve consumers’ ability to manage their care and will also enlist consumers as advocates for wide- spread health IT adoption. This issue brief explores what a PHR is, the extent of demand for it, issues that need to be resolved before such records can be expected to proliferate, and public-private efforts to promote them. NATIONAL HEALTH POLICY FORUM FACILITATING DIALOGUE. FOSTERING UNDERSTANDING. Issue Brief – No. 820 November 30, 2006 Personal Health Records: The People’s Choice? Take control, health care consumers are exhorted. Don’t risk having your health information swept away in a storm or unavailable when you are taken unconscious to the emergency room. Safeguard yourself and your family. Become empowered! The empowered consumer, a stock character in health-reform scenarios, is not so easily identified in real life. There is a range of reasons for this: A given consumer may be sick or injured or cognitively impaired, thus lack- ing the ability and/or will to exercise choice. He or she may have been conditioned to do what the doctor says without second-guessing. Most commonly, he or she may lack the information that is the coin of empow- erment.

In many hospitals and health systems, a ‘new’ electronic health record means a shift to one vendor: Epic, a vendor that dominates in large and medium hospital markets and continues its success with smaller institutions and ambulatory practices. Our paper examines the implications of this emerging monoculture: its advantages and disadvantages for physicians and hospitals and its role in innovation, professional autonomy, implementation difficulties, workflow, flexibil- ity, cost, data standards, interoperability, and interactions with other information technology (IT) systems. ....................................................................................................................................................

  • PROPERTY RIGHTS and ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORDS by Jessica Carges
    No. 17-37 Summer 2017 MERCATUS GRADUATE POLICY ESSAY PROPERTY RIGHTS AND ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORDS by Jessica Carges The opinions expressed in this Graduate Policy Essay are the author’s and do not represent official positions of the Mercatus Center or George Mason University. Abstract This is an analysis of the current assignment of property rights of electronic health records and patient medical data. The paper focuses on the adverse incentives created by the current structure of property rights and hypothesizes that giving patients and provers co-ownership of medical data will best address concerns about interoperability and privacy, and also result in a number of additional positive benefits. Next the paper describes ways to make stronger patient ownership a reality despite the presence of special interest groups incentivized to block access. The paper concludes with state policy level analysis examining New Hampshire – the only state to currently grant patient ownership over medical data and electronic health record. this paper finds that state governments can follow New Hampshire’s lead and extend co-property rights to patients and providers to improve interoperability and privacy outcomes. Author Bio Jessica Carges is a research associate with the State Fiscal Health Team at The Pew Charitable Trusts. She received an MA in economics from George Mason University, and is an alumna of the Mercatus MA Fellowship program. Jessica holds a BS in economics, also from George Mason University.

    MOBILE SMART FUNDAMENTALS MMA MEMBERS EDITION JULY 2014 messaging . advertising . apps . mcommerce www.mmaglobal.com NEW YORK • LONDON • SINGAPORE • SÃO PAULO MOBILE MARKETING ASSOCIATION JULY 2014 REPORT The Playbook Over the last few months we’ve been building a unique resource that will help our brand marketer members successfully develop and execute a mobile strategy, allowing them to deliver a consistent mobile brand experience on a global scale. Enter our Mobile Marketing Playbook (Press Release). Launched last week and created in partnership with global sporting goods giant, adidas, it aims to explain when, where and how companies can use mobile as core to their marketing efforts. Whilst we’ve seen some incredible work this year, as evidenced by the many great mobile campaigns submitted to our 2014 Smarties Awards Program (currently in pre-screening), one of the challenges marketers still face is how to make mobile an integral part of their mix. The Playbook takes marketers through the process of mobile strategy development from start to finish. It provides best practices around mobile executions, ways to leverage the myriad mobile vehicles, insights into mobile creative effectiveness and how companies can effectively measure and optimize mobile. To address the ever changing needs of and challenges faced by marketers, the Playbook will be regularly updated to reflect shifts in consumer behavior, mobile trends as they are introduced, and innovations that are continuously being developed through and with mobile. This will be accomplished in part by the annual addition of well over 500 case studies into our Case Study Hub, helping to define best practice and to serve as a source of inspiration to our marketer members Members can access the entire Playbook by logging in using your member login and password where directed.
