The performance of a portal concentrate on administrative data exchange like appointment request or reminders provides an increase in office productivity and staff workflow. Technology has come a long way especially in the health care field. Utilizing electronic health record patient portals has a genuine influence on reducing the cost of health care while allowing patients to become more involved in their overall health.

The ultimate result would be an improvement in the value they deliver to the patient. If clinical value cannot be achieved, however, where else could a health care organization turn to achieve greater value to a customer? If clinical value cannot be achieved, a health care organization can turn to the process quality to achieve greater value to a customer. The text outlined, that “process quality represents the ease with which a customer can access the clinical quality” (Berkowitz, pg.201). There are several dimensions of service process quality, which includes dependability, responsiveness, authority, empathy and tangible evidence, if all these can be achieved with evidence, then the group accomplished customer value enhanced with clinical value.
Information System Briefing Latoya Lewis HCS/483 February 24, 2010 Jacqueline Sommerville Information System Briefing The information system is put in place to help organizations accomplish certain tasks to help people become more efficient. It could help our healthcare facilities meet the quality and standard that our organization has put in place for us to be successful. Information systems can also improve goals for the organization. The first step to selecting an information system is to put together a team to develop a process. You have to get the perfect team together to get any task done.

Initiates any changes that will translate into positive patient outcomes.
We also feel that we can improve quality as well. Continuous improvement is based on the Deming model of Plan, Do, Check, Act. The hard part is planning, because that is where we must recognize an opportunity to improve the product. Remember, however, that we have good people, human resources is our strength. We must put some money into research & development in order to leverage this strength for improved quality, by encouraging innovation and implementing innovations to continuously improve both our products and our processes.
Broader experience and continuing research into the characteristics of primary care practices with regard to the implementation of EMR systems is required in order to understand and gain full value from EMR systems. When an innovative tool provides benefits such as enhanced clinical efficiencies, greater control over work, and improved job satisfaction, there is little doubt that the implementation of the tool would be considered a success. If these benefits are consistent products of the implementation, the users are not only far more likely to adjust to the requirements that the tool demands, but are also more likely to exploit its capability, adapt its functionality, and maximize its
has progressively been implemented into many aspects of the healthcare systems such as family practice, ambulatory surgery centers, pediatrics, urgent cares, and hospitals. The electronic health record has more benefits than problems, yet there is resistance to a national electronic health record. The benefits to electronic health records are to improve “the efficiency of health care and the speed of communication, access to up-to-date information about patients, and the improvements in the quality of care such as the prevention of medical errors” (Benefits and problems of electronic information exchange as perceived by health care professionals: an interview study, 2011, p.4). The E.H.R. has been used to provide pertinent patient information to family physicians from cardiologists, physical therapists, emergency rooms and hospitals and vice versa.
Dashboard Analysis and Nursing Plan Linda Ndofor Walden University NURS 4005 Section 04, Topics in Clinical Nursing June, 21st, 2015 Dashboard Analysis and Nursing Plan Overview The most successful healthcare organizations are those that utilize information obtained from care providers and patients to develop solid structures to facilitate service delivery. Dashboard analysis makes it easier for administrators to make decisions based on facts rather than on assumptions. Dashboard analysis provides a base on which to look at various performance indicators in an organization to make long-term decisions (Clay, 2008). Dashboard analysis is crucial in healthcare settings since it helps to determine the areas that need improvement.
I choose the articles for Cerner, for the fact that my employer recently bought a contract with the company. I have grown accustomed to the changes, and know the pros and cons of the software. “Cerner is an integrated database that provides a comprehensive set capabilities allowing health care to electronically store, capture and access patient health information in both acute and ambulatory care setting.” (www.medicalrecords.com Feb. 2012). With this system our facility is able to keep up with the patients’ history even if they were not seen for years. This complex new system has ways of looking up patient history and pharmaceutical information if a drug is not known.
Again, this sounds great. What the many articles repeat over and over is that telehealth will save time and cost and make healthcare more efficient, accessible and effective for the patient. I do not doubt that this will eventually happen. However, I think it will take a long time just as we have seen with the evolution of the EMR and a centralized system. I do think that the availability of EMR will aide greatly in the practice of telehealth and telemedicine in that while conferencing, practitioners will have access to that patient’s
