You are at one of your clinical placements with a school nurse. A parent walks into the office and asks to speak to the nurse. The school nurse introduces you to the parent and offers your assistance. The parent says, “My son is John Smith. He is 8 years old and a student in Mr. Albright’s class. The doctor put him on Ritalin. I’m not sure how I feel about this. He has been on it for 10 days now. I have some questions I’d like to ask you.”

1. The parent continues, “John weighs 62 pounds. My friend’s son went on Ritalin and lost weight. Do you think this will happen to John?” How should you respond?
2. John’s parent says, “You know, John doesn’t seem much better to me. He doesn’t want to take the pills, so I give him a treat to persuade him to take them. In the morning I give him the Ritalin with a hot cup of tea with sugar because he likes hot tea. At night, before he goes to bed, I give him the Ritalin with hot chocolate because he likes that, too. He doesn’t sleep; he’s up until 2:00 a.m. Why aren’t the pills making it easier for him to sleep?” How should you respond?
3. The parent states, “I’m just going to stop the pills. I don’t care what the doctor says. I think the pills aren’t good for him.” How should you respond?

1. This case involves a healthcare system consisting of five clinics serving nearly 2 million residents in a large metropolitan area and treating over 500,000 patients annually. In preparation for the implementation of an EHR system for the five clinics, the healthcare system implemented an electronic document/content management (ED/CM) system to handle the imaging, indexing, and storage of selected hard copy documents from active patient paper medical records so that in the future, to support continuity of care needs, key documents would be retrievable through the EHR system. However, the healthcare system lacked the level of internal IT and health information services staff resources required to manage the implementation of hardware/software and to handle the actual paper conversion process, so these aspects of the project were outsourced. The outsourced company installed hardware and software, redesigned workflow in the health information services department, collaborated with the health information management professionals to redesign standardized patient record forms, and worked with IT staff to develop interfaces that would allow for scanned images to be fed into the EHR system. The outsourced company also managed the preparation, scanning, indexing and quality control activities associated with the actual paper conversion process.

Questions

1. As the healthcare system prepares to select an outsource company as its vendor for this project, what types of information should it give to and gather from each vendor under consideration?
2. What are the potential benefits a healthcare system could gain from implementing a document imaging and management project prior to implementing an EHR system?

Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs) play a vital role in the care of our most vulnerable populations. Maintaining accurate medical records in the SNF setting is important for both quality of patient care, as well as compliance with regulatory bodies. For this week’s assignment, you will demonstrate your knowledge of medical record management in the SNF environment.
