HIT vs. EHR
• Health information technology (HIT): a general concept
that describes the technology that supports management of health
information for many purposes
• Electronic health record (EHR): is a specific set of
applications that provide an “electronic record of health-related information
on an individual including patient demographic and clinical health
information, such as medical history and problem lists, and has capacity to
provide clinical decision support, support physician order entry, capture and
query information relevant to health care quality, and exchange electronic
health information with and integrate such information from other sources”
(Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act of 2009)

EHR
• Encompasses broader view of a health record  moving from
notion of a location for keeping track of patient care events to a
resource with enhanced utility
• Merely automating the form, content, and procedures of current
patient records will perpetuate their deficiencies and will be
insufficient to meet emerging user needs
Institute of Medicine:
Computer-based Patient Record: An Essential Technology for Health Care, 1991, 1997
• Longitudinal collection of electronic health information for and about
persons; immediate electronic access to person- and populationlevel information by authorized, and only authorized, users;
provision of knowledge and decision-support that enhance the
quality, safety, and efficiency of patient care; and support of efficient
processes for health care delivery
Key Capabilities of an Electronic Health Record System, 2003

EHR vs. EMR
• Electronic medical record (EMR) sometimes refers to:
– Physician office EHR
– Hospital document imaging system
– Non-interoperable record of health-related information
• EHR is term used by:
– Federal government, including in HITECH
– Institute of Medicine (IOM)
– Health Level Seven (HL7)
• Primary organization to develop interoperability in health care information
systems; adopts the term EHR system
– Certification Commission for Healthcare Information
Technology (CCHIT)

Purposes of EHR
• Improve quality of care: data availability, links to knowledge sources
• Enhance patient safety: context-sensitive reminders/alerts, clinical decision
support, automated surveillance, disease management, drug/device recall
• Support health maintenance: preventive care and wellness - patient
reminders, summaries, tailored instructions, remote evaluation, home monitoring
• Increase productivity: data capture and reporting formats tailored to user,
streamlined workflow support, patient-specific care plans and protocols
• Reduce hassle factors: improve satisfaction for clinicians, consumers, and
caregivers - managing schedules, registration, referrals, medication refills, work queues,
automatically generating administrative data
• Support revenue enhancement: accurate and timely eligibility and benefits,
cost-efficacy analysis, clinical trial recruitment, rules-driven coding support, accountability
reporting/outcomes measures, contract management
• Support predictive modeling: contribute to development of evidence-based
health care guidance
• Maintain patient confidentiality: as health information is securely
exchanged among all stakeholders, including across the continuum of care
and with individuals

HIT Toolkit
Glossary of Terms
CCR/CCD
Continuity of care record/document – standard data content/transmission to send for referrals
CDR
Clinical data repository – database optimized for processing patient transactions, e.g., posting vital signs
CDSS
Clinical decision support system – software that processes discrete data according to logical rules to
provide reminders and alerts
CDW
Clinical data warehouse – database optimized for translational data analysis, e.g., data mining
CPOE
Computerized provider order entry – system that provides CDS at the point of order entry
Discrete (or structured) data = individual values of data that are entered via templates and which are computable; e.g., patient
blood pressure; lab result; name of medication; in contrast to unstructured scanned images, narrative notes, dictation
EDMS
Electronic document management system – document imaging, email, efax, and other digital document
(e.g., dictation) storage and retrieval
E-MAR/BC-MAR
Electronic medication administration record (forms)/bar-code MAR for positive patient identification
eRx
Electronic prescribing system – supports drug selection & transmits prescription to retail pharmacy
Human computer interface = data entry devices, such as workstations, tablets, slates, speech recognition, personal digital
assistants (PDAs), and smart phones
LIS
Laboratory information system that manages operations of a clinical laboratory
O/E
Order entry system used by nursing staff to transcribe handwritten orders
PACS
Picture archiving and communication system – for x-rays and other clinical images
POC Charting
Clinical documentation at the point of care, using clinical practice guidelines/critical pathways and CDS
PHR
Personal health record – patient contributed data in many forms
PMS/HIS/PFS
Practice management system/Hospital information system/patient financial services – applications for
operations, e.g., scheduling, admitting, billing, etc.
RIS
Radiology information system that manages operations of a radiology department

Reality of Today/ Vision for
Tomorrow
• An EHR is a system that
– Collects data from multiple sources
– For use in clinical decision making
– At the point of care
• Even this definition is elusive for many organizations
today
• This definition is primarily focused on care delivery.
There has been little demand from providers/supply of
product to date for:
– Various reporting functions – for quality, P4P, population health
– Health information exchange functionality
– Personal health record (PHR) support

Implementation vs. Adoption
• Implementation –
•
software and
hardware installation,
system build, testing,
training, go-live
• Adoption – users
using system to
achieve benefits
“EHR Half Life”
– Half of all who ponder do
something about EHR
– Half of all who sign a
contract implement EHR
– Half of all who implement
EHR
• Implement all components
• Achieve full use
• Use all functionality
Goal of HIT Toolkit is to help you achieve full adoption
