Emr Software: Today's Medical Care Efficiency And Trends For The Future

By: Pat Boardman Home | Computers-and-Technology | Software


Custom EMR software systems are set up by different types of health care facilities to consolidate the many functions of health care facilities and digitally streamline the work flow for optimal efficiency, both medical and financial. The complex decision making process of accurate medical treatment is based on the clinical encounter elements that comprise the data needed for evaluation of the patient's condition and the necessary generation of the appropriate E&M codes. The codes are determined by the extent of medical history and examination results. EMR software systems contain the data and update immediately.

When speaking of high-tech, one immediately thinks of the U.S. as being the center of the scientific universe; the giant American corporations have the research and development funds to bring innovation to market. One might joke that the Americans sell the best electronics made in Japan and China. Medical devices are manufactured by Johnson and Johnson, GE Healthcare, Medtronic, Baxter International, Tyco Healthcare, Siemans, Phillips Medical, Boston Scientific, Stryker, and many others. The many electronics and software industries make custom products that solve the problems of medical care facilities around the globe.

An aging population has created a need for more long-term care in nursing homes and clinics, with more people in line behind them. With faster administration, medical records, diagnoses, treatment, prescription information, and work flow charts easily accessible, hospitals and clinics can care for the sick and still meet the bottom line. As the software gets more sophisticated physicians will come to trust the data more.

Even in the most modern hospitals with the best medical software delivering a patient's clinical history to the screen, a physician such as a neurologist will very often question the last dosage change decision he made on medication combinations to someone like an epileptic outpatient he sees twice a year, express his surprise that the dosages had been lowered, and double-check with the patient if it was correct and no seizures have occurred. This is likely because doctors maintain a reflex condition developed during the days of manual Medication Administration Records (MAR) that often contained errors and were a source of constant concern.

Prescription writing is central in the pharmaceutical-based treatment environment. Doctors organize their medications using what is called the PDR, which stands for Physicians Desk Reference. The medical world is a litany of acronyms; for example you could think of an ear, nose, and throat specialist organizing medicationsâ€it would run in this order - the software gets the ENT connected to PDR, the PDR's connected to the EMR. When the ultra-stealthy science of nanotechnology becomes more widespread, a microchip can be attached to one of the tiny bones of the inner ear. The chip would not only be able to monitor conditions but it can conceivably carry the entire medical (and personal) history of the patient. The data would use a cloud-based computer system and efficiency would be next to absolute, as would control of the subject carrying such a chip.

International corporations, especially the pharmaceutical giants, are not known to be voluntarily beneficent to the unwashed masses,. They are similar to meat packers who are directed by economics to use every scrap of material available to make some type of product to sell: the meat industry uses floor scrapings, lips, and anuses to produce hot dogs and cold cuts. The pharmaceutical companies extracted a chemical known as fluoride from the inside of their chimney pipes and when they tested it on mice someone thought that their teeth looked a little whiter. With so much corporate control of government they gained contracts by stating that it should be introduced into the water supply. It has since been proven to be a hoax; numerous studies have found that the incidence of tooth decay is not affected by it, and fluoride actually causes a mottled and discolored enamel condition called fluorosis when levels are too high. It certainly doesn't belong in the human body. Neither do implanted bar coding devices.

It remains to be seen what consequences will result from this potentially diabolical technology. It will undoubtedly change our way of life one way or the other; it could also provide greater longevity and happiness if it could be regulated and controlled in a good way. However, getting microchips in the population means you would be tracked everywhere you go, your credits would be deducted at the whim of the banks, and if you protest or cause trouble they can just turn off your chip. Then you wouldn't be able to buy groceries, enter your premises, or start your vehicle. You would no longer be a part of the beehive. At the exponential rate that computerization progresses, entire populations could be controlled by altering brainwave frequency and make the subject either passive or violent. The nano-scale microchip would be introduced from the tip of a syringe in a major flu vaccination campaign and attach itself to the cortex of the brain. Armies and police would run on the violent frequency, and the civilians would be made passive and incapable of making decisionsâ€a state of complex partial seizure could be caused and maintained at the whim of whoever decides to play doctor.
