- Describe your topic.
- Establish a national EHR system that all clinic, hospital & everybody in the health care system can all use. Something that works towards a common goal & has all the requirements that you want the providers to do. That way the benefit of easy access to a patient's medical record for all those involve in the care of this patient can actually utilize it & avail of it. As of now none of the different EHR that providers, clinics, hospitals & specialists uses can actually talk to each other & facilitate sending or sharing health information. Even the gov't official sites is not capable of linking or interfacing with all the different EHR system we have. Prices to keep them is so expensive & taxing to all providers. Every time a new regulation is issued & we ask the EHR company to implement it there is an additional cost on our part. There has to be a regulation as well on the price control that they could charge us. MIPS is based on EHR & yet there is no regulation & control on them. Supposed to be high tech & yet each one can not communicate w/ one another. Give us just one national EHR that is working good & complies to all the requirements of "MIPS, MACRA or whatever number of MEANINGFUL USE " it is now. The system we are using right now is meaningless & not advantageous at all to our pt's health. It is actually a deterrent, as doctors spend more time looking at their computers than having an eye to eye contact & conversation w/ their pt. What a sad thing our Health Care system has come to now!
- Describe why this topic is important.
- This is the biggest issue & problem all providers are facing right now,"A NEED FOR REAL USABLE EHR THAT WORKS AND COMPLIES W/ ALL THE REQUIREMENTS & REGULATIONS ".AN EHR THAT IS SUPPOSE TO FACILITATE THE EASE OF COMMUNICATIONS & INFORMATIONS ON OUR PATIENT'S HEALTH CARE GEARED TOWARDS PREVENTION & WHOLISTIC CARE OF PATIENTS".
- Tell us why you are suggesting this topic.
- IT WOULD SAVE A LOT OF MONEY & STRESS FOR EVERYONE. PATIENTS, PROVIDERS, HEALTH PLANS,IP'S HOSPITALS ETC, ALL THAT ARE INVOLVE IN HEALTH CARE. SIMPLIFY THE SYSTEM TO SOMETHING THAT REALLY WORKS & NOT BURDEN US WITH THOUSANDS OF ADDITIONAL TASK, TRIPLICITY & REPETITIOUS SUBMISSION OF THE SAME DATUM TO ALL HEALTH PLANS, IPA'S, HEALTH ORGANIZATIONS, AUDITORS, SUPERVISORS ETC. IF THERE IS A NATIONAL EHR THAT EVERYONE CAN JUST GO TO, & FIND OUT WHAT THEY ARE TRYING TO FIND ABOUT A PATIENT, IT WILL LIMIT THIS BURDENSOME & REPETITIOUS TASK & USELESS COMPLEXITIES WE ARE INTO NOW. FOR A SINGLE PATIENT WE NEED TO SEND DATA TO THE HEALTH PLAN, THEN TO THE IPA OR HMO PT. BELONGS TO, THEN THERE ARE THE AUDITORS & DIFFERENT COMPANIES THAT THEY HIRED.THEN THERE'S THE DIFFERENT RIDICULOUS FORMS FOR THE SAME ANNUAL HEALTH ASSESSMENT THAT EACH HEALTH PLAN OR HMO'S OR IPA'S WOULD WANT US TO FILL UP WHEN THEY COULD EASILY GO TO THE NATIONALIZE EHR & OBTAIN THAT DATA IF WE JUST HAVE ONE.
- Target Date.
- 2018-06-01
- Describe what you are doing currently and what you are hoping will change because of a new evidence report.
- As I have mentioned above it is the repetitious duplicity of doing & submitting the same data report & additional paper reports well. We are dealing more now than ever & burdened with double paper work. Though we have our EHR & have the electronic ANNUAL HEALTH ASSESSMENT REPORT, OR ANNUAL WELLNESS OR IPPE OR PHYSICAL AS EACH HEALTH PLAN CALLS THEM NONE OF THIS HEALTH PLAN OR IPA WOULD ACCEPT THE REPORT FROM THE EHR. THEY WOULD STILL DEMAND US TO FILL UP THE PAPER FORMS THEY EACH HAVE CUSTOMIZE. MIND YOU SOMETIMES THESE ARE 15 PAGES FORMS THAT DOCTORS HAVE TO COMPLETE AT NIGHT WHEN THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO BE EATING DINNER, HAVING TIME W/ THEIR FAMILY OR SLEEPING & RESTING. MY HUSBAND FOR ONE & MY SON ,ANOTHER DOCTOR & HIS WIFE A PA HAS TOSTAY DAILY TILL 2 AM TO COMPLETE ALL THE RIDICULOUS & REPETITIVE PAPER REQUIREMENTS. MAKING EHR USELESS & IRRELEVANT.
- How will you or your group use the information from a new evidence report?
- THIS WOULD GREATLY BENEFIT OUR PTS, OUR LIVES & SAVE US ALL LOTSA MONEY. WE HAVE TO DOUBLE OUR STAFF TO BE ABLE TO COMPLY W/ ALL THESE REQUIREMENTS. I AM PAYING MORE THAN EVER NOW ON PAPER BOND, INK, FAXES & MATERIALS .
- How would you or your group plan to disseminate information from the report? Who would you plan to disseminate it to?
- EVERY PROVIDER THAT IS IN OUR IPA & NETWORK.
