Future Trends and Effects of EHR Angelene Sears HCIS/265 September 28, 2014 Lucinda Shipley Future Trends and Effects of EHR Electronic health records are enhancing patient overall health care across the country today.

So if you’re at home or in another state, get ill or wounded, the information about your medical state is available to medical providers attending you. Hospitals and physician that utilize digital systems see many benefits of EHR’s over paper records, and this exchange of health information means providing better quality of patient care.

PFCH would greatly benefit from the use of an ERP system developed for hospitals, such as McKesson ERP Solutions. Systems such as these, which are developed specifically for medical professionals, enable hospital workers to easily access, update, and distribute patient information. ERP systems take the data from all other applications and manages that data, resulting in a streamlined, easy to understand overview, known oftentimes as the dashboard. More detailed information is just as easily accessed by the system and displayed in a series of charts and graphs, as well as other tools used to assist healthcare providers in the diagnoses and treatment of patients.

I think organization would be the main component needed to enhance the role and function of a health care manager. A manager must be organized in order to lead, and in order to lead the manager must plan, which is also organization. In any aspect, a health care manager must stay organized to be able to supervise his or her staff members and work alongside the company to reach the intended goals. An organized manager is more capable of running an organized staff which will always be able to provide better health care and quality to the patients. Organization creates a more peaceful environment for co-workers and holds a positive aspect to it that helps motivate each member to do his or her best work while on the job.
And anything we do should help the physician to see patients.” Sandefur points to common diversions: “In larger organizations, especially those that are hospital-owned, it’s easy to think that the process supports accreditation, or compliance, or HIPAA. [xiv] Now it’s not that we shouldn’t want those things to occur, but our primary emphasis should be toward physician productivity – seeing
The managers are more in contact with staff and have direct communication with staff members as well as patients in the hospital. This personal level of communication allows for managers effectively to communicate the importance of the mission of the hospital, which is to exceed expectations and provide quality health care to all at all times.
