Develop a 2-3 page review of an EHR in which you identify EHR benefits, limitations, challenges, and applications. You will combine your experiences in the EHR Go activities with information from a case study.

Expand AllIntroduction

In this course, you will have the opportunity to get your hands on an electronic health record (EHR)! The EHR is a systema group of elements working together to perform a function. HIM professionals need to be subject matter experts on the EHR’s various parts and how they are connected (Amatayakul, 2017).

Additionally, you will use your knowledge of the different systems to identify benefits, limitations, and challenges to using EHR. The textbook readings provide many benefits and hints at the limitations and challenges. Use your work in the EHR to help identify benefits and challenges.

Finally, you will compare how the benefits and challenges balance against each another. This involves the setting of goals for EHR use and strategic planning for the implementation of an EHR. Strategic planning includes setting priorities, such as deciding which applications are needed versus only desired. And, what should be the sequence of application implementation? The EHR Go activity will help you identify when applications are needed and which are nice to have.

• This link takes you to a list of all Capella Library databases. Within this list, PubMed is a good resource for case studies. Search electronic health records to get started.

Independent Research

If you are less familiar with EHRs, you may wish to conduct additional independent research. The suggested resources provide a good starting point. You may also wish to consult the Resources by Topic: Electronic Health Records section of the for research tips and help in identifying current, scholarly and/or authoritative sources.

Overview

In this assessment, you will identify EHR benefits, limitations, challenges, and applications. You will combine your experiences in the EHR Go with information from a case study. Be sure to do all of the assigned EHR course activities first. Your experience will help you able to identify the components in the case study.

Instructions

Choose a case study. Suggested case study resources are provided in the reading list or by searching the .

Describe three examples of torts commonly encountered in healthcare. For each example, explain the circumstances under which it might occur and the potential legal consequences for healthcare providers.

Sample Answers:

1. Medical Malpractice: When a healthcare provider fails to meet the standard of care, resulting in harm to the patient. For example, a surgeon leaving a medical instrument inside a patient during surgery could lead to injury and legal liability.

2. Battery: Performing a medical procedure without the patients consent. For instance, a doctor administering treatment to a patient who explicitly refused it could face a battery claim.

3. Negligence: Failure to take reasonable precautions that result in patient harm. For example, a nurse who forgets to secure bed rails for a high-risk patient may be held liable if the patient falls and suffers an injury.
