EHR SYSTEM
Health Care Data
Situation: A healthcare institution that makes use of an enterprise EHR system having multiple interfaces to other health information platforms.
Part 1: The kinds of data that would be kept in each system
There are various forms or types of data that would in this case be kept in each system. This would include patient management data, clinical data, laboratory data, billing data, etc. In essence, patient management data has got to do with not only the registration as well as admission of patients, but also the relevant discharge or transfer reports/statements and statistics. On the other hand, when it comes the clinical data, of essence would be data relating to clinical decision support. Next, laboratory data would be inclusive of feedback from lab machines. It is important to note that in this case, lab machines could be integrated with orders and billing to further promote and enhance utility. Lastly, we have billing data. In basic terms, billing data would be inclusive of all the charges captured in the course of treatment. It is important to note that it is from the said charges that claims are generated for submission to the relevant parties, i.e. insurance companies.
Part 2: The steps that would be required to allow for analytics to be conducted across multiple platforms
In this case, three key steps would be of essence. The first step would involve the assurance of data quality. Next, the second step would involve the provisioning of data. In this case, the relevance of proper, meaningful and deliberate evaluation of visualization tools cannot be overstated. Lastly, we have the actual data analysis which would basically involve the interpretation, mining, as well as evaluation of data. It is important to note that as Sheikh, Bates, Wright, and Cresswell (2017) point out, predictive analytics founded on EHR data could come in handy in not only the reduction of healthcare costs, but also the provision of diagnoses that are more accurate.

Evolution of Health Care Information Systems Before 1990, the 80s brought in a new health era. The U.S. health care system turned out to be an organization that would grow continuously. Especially in the sector of health care information technology. The research shows that the development can be looked at as an effort to stereotype people's disjointed health care service. It is obvious that the health care information technology is no
The Greatest Challenge to US Healthcare The role is played by the government The role played by the government in healthcare is a divisive issue. Many healthcare organizations executives do support the idea of extending healthcare coverage to the uninsured, however, who this is implemented is the cause of concern. There are numerous changes that are taking place in the healthcare industry and the government needs to catch up quickly. Policy development
HEALTHCARE & INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY The state of healthcare in the United States is very much influenced and improved through the increased use of technology solutions. Whether it be the use of tablets, laptops, electronic healthcare records and some others, the use of technology has become more and more pervasive as the years and decades roll on. However, not everyone is sold on technology being a saving grace and those same people
