In recent decades, information technology in healthcare, such as Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system, is potential to improve service quality and cost efficiency of the hospital. The continuous use of EMR systems has generated a great amount of data. However, hospitals tend to use these data to report their operational efficiency rather than to understand their patients. Base on a dataset of...

the goal of the study is to evaluate the sensitivity of czech physicians to the early diagnosis of dementia in patients with memory impairment.a retrospective observational study was designed. we have reviewed the electronic medical records of patients who have been hospitalized for the first time due to dementia of any type at the kromeriz mental hospital from january 1, 2012 to december 31, 2...

BACKGROUND Given the potential for electronic medical records (EMRs) to influence every aspect of health care, there has been surprisingly little rigorous research applied to this emerging health technology. An initial phase of the COMPETE (computerization of medical practices for the enhancement of therapeutic efficacy) program, which investigates the impact of EMRs and electronic decision sup...

Abstract Integration of the Electronic Medical Records (EMR) with clinical research systems has the potential to greatly enhance the efficiency, speed, and safety of cancer research. New hypotheses could be generated through mining of EMR data, observational studies may be conducted more rapidly, and clinical trial recruitment and conduct could be greatly facilitated. Such enhancements will be ...

OBJECTIVE To present and validate a multifunctional electronic medical record (EMR) for outpatient care to women with endocrine disorders in pregnancy and to compare health information data fill rate to conventional medical records. METHODS We developed an EMR named Ambulatory of Endocrine Diseases in Pregnancy (AMBEG) for systematic registration of health information The AMBEG was used for o...

OBJECTIVES Electronic medical records (EMRs) are increasingly being used by health care services. Currently, if an EMR shutdown occurs, even for a moment, patient safety and care can be seriously impacted. Our goal was to determine the methodology needed to develop an effective and reliable EMR backup system. METHODS Our "independent backup system by medical organizations" paradigm implies th...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Physicians underdocument and undertreat obesity. Electronic medical records (EMR) reminders have improved other preventive services such as cancer screening and immunizations. We explored whether an EMR automatic calculation of body mass index (BMI) improved clinician documentation and treatment of overweight and obesity. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cross-se...

BACKGROUND The CDC established a national objective to create population-based tracking of immunizations through regional and statewide registries nearly 2 decades ago, and these registries have increased coverage rates and reduced duplicate immunizations. With increased adoption of commercial electronic medical records (EMR), some institutions have used unidirectional links to send immunizatio...

Early treatment of HIV relies on a timely detection the infection, but many people living with HIV/AIDS are unaware their infection. In current study, we applied an electronic medical records (EMR)-based alert system flagging high-risk patients previously diagnosed infections syphilis, hepatitis A virus, B and/or C and those aged 20–50 years prior diagnosis shingles. During study period (April ...

The integration of electronic medical records (EMRs) and genomic research has become a major component of efforts to advance personalized and precision medicine. The Electronic Medical Records and Genomics (eMERGE) network, initiated in 2007, is an NIH-funded consortium devoted to genomic discovery and implementation research by leveraging biorepositories linked to EMRs. In its most recent phas...
