NR 361 Week 4 Discussion Your patient has a Personal Health Record\u2026 Now what (graded)<\/h2>\n

Sample Answer for NR 361 Week 4 Discussion: Your patient has a Personal Health Record\u2026 Now what? (graded) Included After Question<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The only pro of the case study is that she can only pull a portion of her labs. At least she has part of what she needs to review with her family. The other portions are with the emergency room and the other associated lab so at least she’ll know who to call and talk to and try to get her results. The con is now trying to navigate with each of the organizations to try and get her results. I\u2019ve heard from patients the things they have to go through to get labs sent to them. Filing paperwork, paying process fees, and still having to pay to have them mailed as well. Per our assigned book, the quest to have one unified software application that would search, and compile records has gone unanswered.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Some of the safeguards for PHR\u2019s mentioned by our textbook is to improve the quality and safety of patient care through improving accuracy and overall completeness of patient care information, enhancing coordination of care between different organizations, it can also flag dangerous drug interactions, verify medications ordered by healthcare providers, and help with the reduction of unnecessary procedures and tests.<\/p>\n

I do not agree with the way records are obtained. The patient has to jump through many loops and navigate different offices just for simple information. It should be as simple as signing a release and having what you need in a few minutes. I\u2019ve experienced this before and I\u2019m many of us as well. Calling different people and having in turn to call tell you, you have to talk to someone else is irritating. With only having access to a portion of your results, it can lead to anxiety and stress for a patient. Also, the healthcare providers are facing challenges in trying to access the patient\u2019s information as well. Which can lead to unnecessary exams and tests as I stated earlier.<\/p>\n

PHRs are the tools that a patient can use throughout their life to review all the medical records<\/a> including treatments, tests, and lab work (Hebda et al., 2019).\u202f Pros of patients being able to logon to their personal health record are that the patient can view the history of their test results, medications, health history, appointments, and any other information listed. They can also print this information and share it with their physician, home health, specialists, or any other provider that they are new to. This provides the new provider documentation of the patient’s health history which can be helpful in diagnosis. PHRs allow patients to be positively engaged in their healthcare (Chamberlain, 2020).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cons of a patient being able to view their personal health record are that sometimes they don\u2019t have the knowledge foundation to read their health record and therefore make assumptions or jump to conclusions that aren\u2019t necessarily true about their health. In this specific situation, another con is that if the organizations aren\u2019t linked then they don\u2019t have access to all of the information that they want to see. resulting in a gap. Another con to the situation behind the scenes is that the clinicians from either provider aren\u2019t able to see each other\u2019s documentation, including lab results. This can lead to a gap in the continuity of care.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Patient portals are secured by Consents, Multi based authentication, Encrypted Databases, as well as provide role-based access, meet federal law privacy regulations and follow HIPAA guidelines.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I agree that patients should have access to limited information on their patient portal to help them be involved in their plan of care and proactive for their own health. Being able to see discharge instructions, medications, educational material, and Follow up appointments are all great ways to Include the patient in their healthcare. I do not think that patients should have access to lab results, test results, clinical notes, assessments, and such medical information that requires a medical degree to analyze.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Not long ago I had a friend who brought me a copy of her ultrasound results from her gynecologist. The results showed that she had a mass And listed a bunch of medical terms but she did not understand. Before she even came to my door she was in tears because she thought that the mass meant cancer. She had to wait a month before her follow up appointment to get results that also included biopsy results. The mass was in fact not cancerous but was an abscess. Although an abscess is serious, that diagnosis is much more appealing than cancer. Although I had told her that she needed to eat to go back to the doctor before she made any assumptions because she had already read her results she\u2019s been a month basically planning her death, unnecessary!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Although many benefits exist in enabling patients access to PHR such as the potential to improve efficiency, quality of care, reduction of costs, and patient satisfaction, there are barriers as well. For patients who don’t have access, they also lack access to streamline health information. To obtain their results, medication lists, and diagnosis, they must wait and attend their follow up appointment. Some patients may be frustrated with this process as they wish to know information as soon as possible. Though some may see this as a negative, it can also be a positive as waiting to hear results directly from your physician can bridge gaps in concerns over the information. Another challenge for patients that don’t have access is the lack of ability to communicate with a clinician or physician. Many portals now give patients the ability to send their physician a message, which can decrease hold time\/call back time on the phone, and streamline simple things like medication refills.\u202f Lastly, I find that a great challenge is remembering the access usernames and passwords to multiple systems.\u202f If your PHR is linked to different facilities, you will have different account information for each.\u202f I think we can all agree that this can be very frustrating!\u202f Imagine an 80 y\/o patient trying to do this!\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
