Switch to EMR
I wanted to share some things I have learned from experiencing the switch over to the EMR at Robinson. I am not sure that this information will apply to
all facilities but I thought it may be helpful in case it comes up with our
summer clinical rotations.
Here are some abbreviations & acronyms that they told us
we will see with computer charting.
·
EMR- Electronic Medical Record
·
EHR- Electronic Health Record
·
SCM- Sunrise Clinical Manager (Allscripts)
·
CPM- Clinical Practice Model
·
KBC- Knowledge Based Charting
·
A&I- Assessment and Intervention Flowsheet
·
CPG- Clinical Practice Guideline
·
EBP-Evidence Based Practice
·
POC-Plan of Care
·
CPOE- Computerized Physician Order Entry
Here are some advantages of EMR they informed us of:
·
Opportunity to improve quality of care and
patient safety.
·
Reduce discrepancies in patient care with
Evidence Based Practice.
·
Legibility and ease of reading other’s
documentation enhance continuity of care.
·
Increased accessibility of chart and immediate
access to key information.
·
Interdisciplinary documentation. Health care
team collaborating together to coordinate the patient’s care and reduce
duplication.
