Analysis and Evaluation of EHR Approaches

Consent-based Access to Core EHR Information

Methods of Information in Medicine 2009 48 2: 144-148.

The core EHR provides a generic basis that may be used as a pilot for a national patient summary. Examples of a wider use of the core EHR can be: shared individual plans to support continuity of care, summary of the patient’s contacts with health providers in different organizations, and core EHR information such as important diagnoses, allergies and contact information. Extensive electronic cooperation and communication requires that all partners adjust their documentation practices to fit with other actors’ needs. The implementation effects on future work practices will be followed by researchers.

At a time when the administration will penalize hospitals for not bringing their information technology out of the dark ages, a bright spot has emerged: free software created by the VA that still costs money to install and maintain, but often less than the offerings from private vendors.

Viable care coordination programs without a strong transitional care component are unlikely to yield net Medicare savings. Programs with substantial in-person contact that target moderate to severe patients can be cost-neutral and improve some aspects of care.
