New Developments in EHR Data Transparency

Epic, Cerner, CVS align with Surescripts to make personalized prescription benefit, pricing info available in EHRs

Six different EHR vendors have revealed a collaborative project to show more data about prescription benefits / pricing at the point of care. This directly relates to my semester project on how to improve electronic health records, as it shows that collaboration is hugely possible. The companies say the new changes will be implemented as soon as next year, which in the healthcare field is extremely quick for new changes. The trial run for this system has been ongoing throughout 2017, and saw use in 3.75 million transactions.

    I literally just read this article about how prescription benefits with Insurance companies may in fact may make it harder for patients (and employers) to know what company is benefiting from the mergers. Though much money is being made (or saved) by them. See https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/26/health/health-care-hospitals-insurers.html

    Unfortunately there are a lot of AIDS/Herpes denials on Herbal cures still out there. I did research on them after I was tested HIV/Herpes positive I was so worried am I going to die soon. I continue my search again on herbal remedy for Std, then I found lots of testimony on how Dr Itua Herbal Medicine Cured HIV/Aids, Herpes Virus,Copd, Hepatitis, Diabetes, On websites sharing their testimonies, which made much more sense to me. All the authors pronounce Dr Itua As a man with Good Heart, I pick interest in their testimonies and I contact him about my situation then he gave me procedure how it works, I proceed after one week he courier his Herbal Medicine to me and instruct me on how to drink it for two weeks to cure. I receive His Herbal Medicine so I drank it for two weeks as I was told then after 2 days I go for a test I found out I was cured from HIV/Aids & Herpes Virus, I pay homage to him 2 months ago to his country to celebrate with him on his African festival which he told me it usually happens every year. I know there are lots of (HIV)/Aids&Herpes Virus denials of Herbal Remedy movement the same few doctors and they represent a very small faction of the community. I could have died because I refused Natural Herbs Cures for so long, but luckily, by the grace of God I am alive to tell my story.

Doctors Think Electronic Health Records Are Hurting Their Relationships With Patients In furthering our discussions about Electronic Health Records, I thought I would share this article I came across during my research. Doctors spend too much time sifting through computer screens and pdf files, instead of interacting with patients. There's no eye contact or any semblance of personal interaction. The job has simply become data entry, instead of providing care.

How to Improve Electronic Health Records

  Problem When a patient needs to switch doctors or hospitals, their electronic health records have to go with them. These documents come to the doctor usually in the form of a PDF. This PDF contains all the information on a patient, which is usually around 30 pages for an adult, but can easily balloon into 50-60 pages. Many pages are a waste, as they provide regulatory and billing information, instead of information regarding the patient’s health. This wastes time for doctors, who just have to sift through dozens of pages of useless information, and then input it into their own system. This problem is compounded by both doctors and patients, who would prefer that this information was more readily accessible in the system so that the doctor can spend more time focusing on patient care, instead of on data entry. Secondly, studies show that since electronic health records became extremely common, the number of malpractice claims skyrocketed. From 2007 to 2010, the numb
