Electronic Health Records (EHR, EMR)

Initial results from a trial of the SRA in Northern NSW has shown significant improvements in communications between healthcare providers.

The 25-bed hospital, which did not pay the ransom, is still working to get full access to files from August 2012 through August 2017.

Blue Ridge Medical Group is using a new virtual-care tool from athenahealth, which, among other things, enables the doctor to document directly to the EHR during a telehealth visit.

In 2018 alone, approximately 12,000 audits performed for broad-spectrum antibiotic use at SGH revealed that 20 per cent to 30 per cent of these prescriptions were inappropriate.

Epic worked with the health system to deploy the electronic health record virtually, in response to enduring travel and social distancing restrictions around COVID-19.

The cloud IT company said it developed the athenaTelehealth technology in response to a 3,400% uptick in telehealth visits across its customer network from mid-February to April.

According to a new JAMA study, patients reported finding mistakes in diagnoses, medical history, medications and more – and practitioners were not always open to correcting the errors.

Central Logic CEO Angie Franks says with the Arizona Surge Line, health systems and state agencies are using her company's cloud-based technology to aggregate EHR and other data to assess the status of critical inventories and get resources to hospitals most in need.

Kristin Myers, who began at the New York health system as Director of IT in 2004, will also serve as dean for information technology.
