1. You are the health information manager at a local hospital. A physician on the medical staff does not understand how to add H&P notes to a patient’s EHR. He explains that he “always used to handwrite the H&P.” You explain to the physician that he can no longer handwrite his H&P notes, and you give him two options of how he can add his H&P notes to the EHR. Describe these two options.
2. You are a laboratory manager at a local hospital. Your laboratory systems can interface with the hospital’s EHR system to automatically provide test results. However, there are times when this process does not function properly and results have to be entered manually. As the laboratory manager, you want to develop a procedure for doing this. What steps might you include in this procedure? Write a one-page procedure for manually entering laboratory results into the hospital’s EHR system when the laboratory computer cannot automatically transfer the laboratory results to the hospital’s EHR system.
