Could electronic medical records become a new burden on doctors?
Many doctors feel dull handwritten paper-based medical records, as the world is more and more information, many hospitals have begun to promote electronic health records, and generally recognized by medical experts. Electronic medical records can improve medical quality and potential, but in the process of electronic medical records, the effect seems to be less than expected.
Foreign examples
Walvik, a former physician to medical institution John Muir Health, recalls spending countless hours on the hospital's electronic medical records system. After a busy day at the hospital, he returned home to face a variety of electronic record forms, even taking up his time with his family. Eventually, he left the hospital and turned to other businesses.
A joint study by brown university and Healthcentric Advisors found that electronic medical records may slow doctors' treatment during treatment. Doctors are busy filling out electronic medical records, and the time and quality of doctor-patient communication are affected. In the United States, with the expansion of electronic medical records, doctors are busy with electronic medical records, and many doctors are suffering.
Academic journal "journal of medical informatics innovation upper to published articles, the paper first author Kimberly Pelland even said that electronic medical records took the doctor a lot of brainpower, attention and energy, lead to the doctor's concerns from patients transferred to PC, medical model from the" center "in patients with abnormal line into" computer center ".
Lesson learned from Canada
Canada's island medical community has complained about a group of doctors who have abandoned electronic medical records to demand a return to paper records.
Mr. Waldner, who has been in charge of island medical care for years, says his doctors are among the top medical providers in Canada.
Even so, the actual use of electronic medical records has been difficult.
In fact, it's not the first time that these controversies have been debated. As early as 2014, the us electronic medical records association survey found that 72 percent of doctors thought electronic medical records would make it difficult to reduce their work load.
Fifty-four percent of doctors believe that electronic medical records increase the cost of work.
42 per cent of doctors said it was difficult to improve their work efficiency.
Is electronic medical records really a burden?
Compared to the burden, electronic medical records bring more convenience and efficiency.
In fact, far from being depressed, electronic medical records will gradually shine.
From electronic medical records to today, although continuous improvement, there are still a lot of problems.
Even though electronic medical records have problems in the promotion process, they do not prevent the development of electronic medical records.
Electronic medical records reveal advantage is obvious: the emergence of electronic medical records instead of handwritten paper-based medical records, greatly increases the efficiency of medical service, at the same time, reduce medical errors, to improve the medical service, compared with the traditional paper-based medical records, electronic medical records do not occupy a space for storage, and access to convenience simple, at the same time, can also according to the patients before treatment information, can be directly predict risk treatment.
China electronic medical records to use time still but 10 years, but this information has developed rapidly in 10 years, to a certain extent, improve the efficiency of medical treatment, however, for the United States, Canada and other countries in the implementation of phase meet problem to also want to save for a rainy day.
Now, in the countries most of the hospitals in the use of electronic medical records, with the continuous popularization of electronic medical records, every data to create new high, just one Peking University people's hospital every day to produce the amount of data of 60 G, and some of the hospital more than these, so many data, are treasures of clinical case resources, if the data is used for medical services and the clinical curative effect analysis, and how much will be huge resources.
After all, the improvement of medical effect and quality is the fact that a large number of data cases are needed.
Even in many cases, the innovation of treatment depends on the strength of data collection.
Therefore, the future direction of electronic medical records must be interconnection.
Once collected, used multiple times.
The more data collected by electronic medical records, the easier it is to integrate, and the more convenient it is to conduct multiple analyses and finally get the new research results.
