Recommended: Introduction to electronic health records

An E-Medical Health Record (EMHR) is an electronic version of a patient’s medical history, that is maintained by the provider over time, and may include all of the key administrative clinical data relevant to that persons care under a particular provider, including demographics, progress notes, problems, medications, vital signs, past medical history, immunizations, laboratory data and radiology reports . The EMHR automates access to information and has the potential to streamline the clinician's workflow. The EMHR also has the ability to support other care-related activities directly or indirectly through various interfaces, including evidence-based decision support, quality management, and outcomes reporting.

The first part of the report illustrates the challenges and limitations of using existing federal surveys and federal claims databases for studying small populations. The second part explores the potential of the increasingly available EMHR and other existing electronic health data to complement federal data sources, as well as potential next steps to demonstrate and improve the feasibility of using EMHRs for research on small …show more content…

• In current system only records maintain without security any one can access the data of any one.
• There is no health record which maintain the patient details as well as doctor details in India.
• By the use of E-Medical Health Record there generate the powerful Communication between patient and doctors.
• Previous reviews of research on e-medical health record (EMHR) data quality have not focused on the needs of quality measurement. The authors reviewed empirical studies of EMHR data quality, published from January 2004, with an emphasis on data attributes relevant to quality measurement. Many of the 35 studies reviewed examined multiple aspects of data quality. Sixty-six percent evaluated data accuracy, 57% data completeness, and 23% data comparability.
• The diversity in data element, study setting, population, health condition, and EMHR system studied within this body of literature made drawing specific conclusions regarding EMHR data quality challenging. Future research should focus on the quality of data from specific EMHR components and important data attributes for quality measurement such as granularity, timeliness, and comparability. Finally, factors associated with poor or variability in data quality need to be better understood and effective interventions

Health Information Exchange Providers across the U.S. are turning to the Health Information Exchange also known as HIE. HIE provides secure online access to patients charts among a network of providers, hospitals, clinics, doctor’s offices, and pharmacies who join in the exchange, so they can have timely electronic access to records their patients will allow them to share. For patients this means having their medical records available no matter where they go and for providers it means having instant access to life saving information when seconds count

With telehealth platforms, healthcare providers can gather a wide range of patient data in real-time, just as if the patient is there in the office with them. Allowing patients to have this appointment from the comfort of their own homes is changing health care. This data includes chief complaints, medication adherence, and lifestyle information, which can be evaluated so that the healthcare professional can provide personalized care. Telehealth systems, while also being connected with Electronic Health Records (EHRs), make patient data centralized and easily accessible to multiple healthcare providers that are involved in the patient care. This connection helps improve care coordination, reduces unneeded information, and minimizes the chances of errors.

In the research conducted by Cox et al., (2012), there were limitations in their sample. Their sample size was too small which makes it difficult to generalize the data and a claim a specific relationship. Further research should incorporate a larger sample size to be considered representative of people to whom results will be generalized and also to ensure a representative distribution of the population. Ineffective screening for comorbid disorders was another limitation in Cox et al. , (2012) research.

Describe the Data Source The data source that we reviewed is called the Behavior Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), which can be located at http://www.cdc.gov/brfss/. The BRFSS is a national health survey system that collects data from U.S. residents in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and in three U.S. territories (CDC, 2014). The data consists of health-related risk behaviors, chronic health conditions, and the use of preventive services (CDC, 2014). States use this data to address urgent and emerging health issues like the vaccine shortage during the 2004-2005 flu season, as well as, the impact of Hurricane Katrina and Rita in 2005 (CDC, 2014).

Although, a large ethnic group, such as Hispanics, may be considered at a low or higher risk for specific health outcomes, it is excluding the health information of its sub groups. This can lead to a potential failure to address early on adverse health outcomes among sub groups. Nevertheless, aggregated data and disaggregated data have their strengths and weaknesses. Aggregated data is able to analyzed the overall health of larger populations as where disaggregated data can analyze sub groups.

Risk Based Monitoring (RBM) is becoming more popular and widely used in clinical trials in the past few years. The concept of the risk based monitoring is to transform the traditional 100 % source data verification (SDV) monitoring approach towards a new concept of monitoring that includes varies of centralised activities in critical data evaluation and process monitoring. RBM is a monitoring approach which combines risk assessment and risk management by utilising key data indicators, along with analytical tools to identify risk at study level, site level and subject level respectively. It also introduces the new term Source Data Review (SDR) to the industry. Source Data Verification which is known as SDV is defined as “the process by which

The effect of these factors on data missing cannot be overlooked because evidence from past studies have shown that demographic differences of study participants affects the validity of study results and findings(Goldberg et al. 2001; Galea & Tracy 2007c). This literature review is aimed at examining factors that could influence non-response and continued participation of samples in cohort studies. It will highlight the impact of sociodemographic characteristics of subjects on missing data and study quality. Morse so, with the declining participation rate, the review will attempt to address the issues bordering participation of different groups of subjects and how these could be addressed, accommodated or adjusted in study design, planning and data
