ANSWER:-
? A policy to ensure compliance with health information, data
exchange or industry infrastructure standards.
? ?Current electronic health record systems are primarily clinical
in focus, designed to provide patient-level data and provider-level
decision support.
? ?Adapting EHR systems to serve public health needs provides the
possibility of enormous advances for public health practice and
policy. In this review, we evaluate EHR functionality and map it to
the three core functions of public health: assessment, policy
development, and assurance. In doing so, we identify and discuss
important design, implementation, and methodological issues with
current systems. For example, in order to support public health’s
traditional focus on preventive health and socio-behavioral
factors, EHR data models would need to be expanded to incorporate
environmental, psychosocial, and other non-medical data elements,
and workflow would have to be examined to determine the optimal way
of collecting these data. We also argue that redesigning EHR
systems to support public health offers benefits not only to the
public health system but also to consumers, health-care
institutions, and individual providers.
