Retrieved July 02, 2017, from http://content.healthaffairs.org/content/24/5/1323.long The article titled Medical Groups Adoption of Electronic Health Records and Information Systems by Gans Davis, Kralewski John, Hammons Terry, and Dowd Bryan published by Health Affairs in 2005, focuses on the adoption of EHR and Information systems by different medical groups. The research article sought to shine a light on the adoption of Electronic Health Record systems, what an EHR system can do once adopted, perceived benefits of EHRs, barriers of EHRs, and use or adoption of other computer-based …show more content…
The research study mainly focused on benefits and challenges provided by adopting or implementing Electronic Health Record systems. The study also found that even though EHR adoption and implementation was advancing slow. The research group found that up to 90 percent of group practices have adopted a billing or patient scheduling computer-based information system. Adoption of low cost computer-based information systems are an easy way for health care organizations to gauge if EHRs are right for them. This study although published in 2005 gives a perspective as to how far back the health care environment has been trying to implement Electronic Health Record systems. Although the study based its finding on survey and questionnaire results both of which carry limitations. The research team could conclude that although progression of EHR adoption is slow, adoption of EHR systems is progressing non-the less. The research study although not focused on direct impact of EHR Organ Procurement Organization effects. The article does provide an help understand the challenges that can ripple and directly affect third party organizations. Organ Procurement Organizations would directly be impacted by both benefits and challenges that a health care organization may face upon EHR …show more content…
The study focused on explaining efficiency differences due to multiple differences in key factors. Dr. Poissant and researching colleagues used a statistical analysis approach searching for literature from 1966 to January 2004 using current health care databases. Databases such as MEDLINE, CINAHL, and HEALTHSTAR were searched by using key words containing Electronic Health Records or EHRs. The studies pertaining to the benefits of nurses using EHRs showed that regardless of EHR system used whether bedside or nurses station terminal. Differences between paper and computer documentation systems were statistically significantly different. For example, the study showed that using bedside terminals eliminated 24.5% more time compared 23.5% time eliminated by using a nurse’s station terminals. The ten studies conducted to examine the impact of EHR system time efficiencies of physicians. Out of the ten studies conducted by the research team, only one study showed that EHRs were favorable over using PDA to paper for a physician. Six of the ten studies showed that there was an increased in patient documentation of 13.1%. Three if the ten studies showed no significant documentation time between using an EHR computer system and paper documentation
