¶ … Patient Electronic Access
The objective of this study is to investigate the application of the electronic health record at the inner City health hospital. The goal of implementing the program is to allow patients to have easy access to their health data and information to assist them sharing their health information with other healthcare and personal care providers. This study investigates the application of Measure 1 Stage 1 for the City Health organization. Following the benefits of the electronic health records, the City Health has decided to implement the new program. The program will allow patients to access their information on demand through PHR (personal health record). However, the City Hospital will be able to derive benefits from the program by setting aside $170,000 for the implementation costs and $90,500 maintenance expenses. Moreover, the City Hospital should organize a training program for the staff to make the program be successful.
Introduction
"The Patient Electronic Access provides patients the ability to view online, download, and transmit their health information within 4 business days of the information being available to the EP." (CMS, 2016 p 1).
The Medicaid and Medicare introduce the electronic health record incentive programs to encourage patients' involvement in their healthcare systems. In other words, accessibility of patient health information online allows patients to make an informed decision regarding their healthcare and provide critical information to their personal caregivers and care providers. The objective of the EP is to allow a physician views health information online, downloading the information and transmitting the health information within four business days to patients. The City Health hospital has been using the manual method to record patient's health data for several decades. The method is not only time-consuming, the manual method is also not cost-effective because a large amount of time is wasted before recording and accessing patient's information. Moreover, the hospital does not have the policy to allow patients accessing their health information. Nevertheless, the City Hospital is under the Medicaid and Medicare program, and the hospital realizes more than 70% of their revenue from the Medicaid and Medicare government program. Since, the government has mandated all hospitals under the Medicaid and Medicare programs to implement the electronic health record incentive programs, the management of the City hospital has made a decision to implement the program. The objective of this project is to investigate the application of the Meaningful Use...
