RxBlock: Towards the design of a distributed immutable electronic prescription system
AbstractBlockchains have received much hype lately and researchers and developers are seeking unique and innovative uses for this new technology. The medical field is no exception, specifically pharmaceutical uses for blockchains. To this effect, this proposed research aims to design a secure and efficient electronic prescription system leveraging blockchain technology. Using the unique properties of blockchains, the proposed application (RxBlock) seeks to explore how a blockchain could be used in electronic prescriptions. The proposed application createsan immutable ledger of transactions occurring over a network. This ...

Comparing the Trends of Electronic Health Record Adoption Among Hospitals of the United States and Japan
AbstractThe goal of this study is to examine the trends of Electronic Health Record (EHR) adoption among hospitals in Japan compared to those in the United States. Japan ’s nationwide survey of hospitals was utilized to extract the EHR adoption rates among Japanese hospitals. Comparable datasets from the Healthcare Information and Management System Society (HIMSS) and the American Hospital Association (AHA) were utilized to extract EHR adoption rates among U.S. ho spitals. The trends of EHR adoption were stratified and analyzed by hospital size and hospital ownership status. As of 2014, the U.S. hospitals had a wider ado...

10 Steps to Strategically Build and Implement your Enterprise Imaging System: HIMSS-SIIM Collaborative White Paper
We describe ten steps recommended to achieve the goal of implementing EI for an institution. The first step is to define and access all images used for medical decision-making. Next, demonstrate how EI is a powerful strategy for enhancing patient and caregiver experience, improving population health, and reducing cost. Then, it is recommended that one must understand the specialties and their clinical workflow challenges as related to imaging. Step four is to create a strategy to improve quality of care and patient safety with EI. Step five demonstrates how EI can reduce costs. Then, show how EI can help enhance the patien...

Chief Nursing Officer Council Leads Journey to Achieve HIMSS Stage 7 Designation at 4 Acute Care Hospitals: A Case Study
When Rochester Regional Health (RRH) Chief Nursing Officer (CNO) Council was organized in 2014, the members, who represented all acute care hospitals in the RRH system, determined several goals, 1 of which was: “Improve the patient experience in collaboration with other system leaders.” As electronic medical records became a government mandate and technology took hold in health care organizations, nurses immediately realized the benefits to patient care and patient safety by doing away with paper and m oving the electronic age of medicine forward.

Forecasting the Maturation of Electronic Health Record Functions Among US Hospitals: Retrospective Analysis and Predictive Model
Conclusions: We forecasted the adoption of electronic health record capabilities from a paper-based environment (Stage 0) to an environment where only electronic information is used to document and direct care delivery (Stage 7). According to our forecasts, the majority of hospitals will not reach Stage 7 until 2035, absent major policy changes or leaps in technological capabilities. These results indicate that US hospitals are decades away from fully implementing sophisticated decision support applications and interoperability functionalities in electronic health records as defined by EMRAM’s Stage 7.

Effects of health information technology and health information exchanges on readmissions and length of stay
This study explored the effects of HIT/HIE on the outcomes and quality of care for diabetes, asthma, acute myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, and hip and knee fracture. 30 day readmissions and average length of stay were used as measures of quality of care.MethodsThis study used the HIMSS IT database, coupled with the American Hospital Association (AHA) Hospital survey data and the CMS outpatient and skilled nursing facility Medicare claims data from 2006–2012, along with the standard Medicare file of patient claims for 2006–2012 as the control cohort. Using heirarchical clustering analysis methods, we co...
