Barriers to EHR. Jonathan Capitini Professor Dr. Upadhyay HCA 300.

Scene 2 (10s)

EHRs?. An Electronic Health Records (EHRs) is defined as digitally stored healthcare information throughout an individual’s lifetime with the purpose of supporting continuity of care, education, and research. The EHRs may include such things as observations, laboratory tests, medical images, treatments, therapies; drugs administered, patient identifying information, legal permissions, and so on ( Ajami , 2013)..

Scene 3 (29s)

PRIVACY. Eliminating the issue of privacy and confidentiality would raise the level of EHRs because security is a major concern for lots of people and having their records private and out of the hands of people who do not work in the hospital is keen..

Scene 4 (44s)

Software Issues. Major software issues could make the use of EHRs very negative. When the system crashes or billing errors happen, this can cause financial risk and added obstacles that make system overcomplicated and not reliable to work..

Scene 5 (59s)

Not qualified. Having a well-trained clinician informatics workforce to lead the process is important because you want the whole system to run smoothly. Eliminating the issue of having unqualified people in charge is important..

Scene 6 (1m 12s)

COSTS. It is very expensive to implement an EHR system and this could make hospitals and healthcare systems not want to use it. I would want this barrier out of the way to make EHRs more accessible to use.
