Initial impact of EHR on physicians and nurses



Electronic health records and associated impacts on physicians and nurses are describing the real challenge of difficulties might face the health workers in their career. A study from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics survey of 2011 trends showed that 85% of all physicians with EHRs are satisfied with their system, and 74% reported that EHRs enhanced their overall patient care (DesRoches et al., 2012).  The HC working performance indicators own remarkable identification and proving wide gaps among working stakeholders; clearly showing to how far they could be matched and accommodated with new technologies and different way of working. On the level of hospitals; there are many burdens embedded  in the process of digitalize the working business model such as the level of IT skills of the physicians and nurses acceptance and the interest to learn new working systems. It has become predominantly that human feelings play and change resistant pattern figures and reflected the paid effort and training should in future be implemented to reach professionalism.
In the new HC systems, there are three main categories of working items regardless segment names or specialities; patient, provider and society. Moreover; the process of service provision and time of intervention have strong determination closely to the real and realistic uphold with forward predictions whether to whom the services have been introduced or currently done. Therefore; in the future should be. Till there is no complete network of EHR succeeded reach hundred percent coverage particularly between private and public HC providers while mean non-profit providers still little of unaccountability while far away from the public EHR working networks. That do detailed check to the available infrastructure integrated to make EHRs real. The benefits would be got considered, with other definition the 2nd use of the medical data carries hug demand to the process of numerous healthcare registries on different authorities.
Recently, A University of Pennsylvania study found that nurses working with EHRs consistently reported more improvements to nursing care and better health outcomes for patients than nurses working in hospitals without these working applications. Whatever; where EHR implemented, still some essential characteristica should be over there:
ü  Setting up strong training programs to the HC workers regularly, measuring the level of patient outcomes, identify measuring performance indicators as well as degree of employee acceptance with new apps.
ü  Determine the multiple procedures of securities with patient medical data starting from administration/accessibility, storage, retrieval, processing and monitoring till 2nd use of data what is called sometimes built out using.
ü  Apply random probing working sample to improve the quality of feedback and correct behind mistakes may affect work pathway later.
ü  The whole EHR should be entirely implemented on the level of state and getting necessary IT infrastructure and associated funds.
ü  Distinguishing a society culture barriers and level of IT skills.

All agree, it takes more time and effort to clearly differentiate the barriers stand in front of EHR. Is that lack of experiences, poor IT development with skills, not enough funds, modest citizens interest to receive medical services through modern technologies or/and lack of enough will from governments to spend more if they can spend less avoiding other considerations. If you have different viewpoint let us know?
