Early development of an electronic data processing?

Answer 1

EDP is an infrequently used term for what is today usually called "IS" (information services or systems) or "MIS" (management information services or systems), is the processing of data by a computer and its programs in an environment involving electronic communication. Specifically talking about the healthcare industry, physicians are going paperless with similar technologies known as EMR.

Answer 2

It depends on what level you're talking about.

'Electronic' implies any device designed to manipulate electron flow in a circuit while 'data' implies useable information.

A switch is used to determine electron flow between two levels, 'on' or 'off'.

A transistor is a switch that is controlled by other electrical/electronic components that are used to alter the flow rate of electrons.

An electronic circuit is, usually, a bank of transistors (and associated components) that are used to convert a desired input to a desired output. As the input is usually controlled in some manner, and the output is stable for a given set of input values then any simple circuit can be considered an electronic data processing device.

Normally though you're talking about microprocessor technology such as in calculators, PC's, etc.

The following are some of the key components of an EHR. I hope that you find this helpful.

i) Progress Note Entry

Free text entry of encounter. Customizable specialty or disease specific templates, use of MEDCIN technology to encode notes, integration with voice recognition and standard transcription, data entry by proxies, data input by patients (e.g., Instant Medical History), tablet computer entry (clicking/inking/handwriting recognition), pictures, annotation.

ii) Integrated Patient Management or Interface for Patient Scheduling.

iii) Other Data Modules - Ability to scan documents and images into EMR. Voice Recognition Software for Dictation, Handwriting recognition for pen-based input. Interfaces for spirometry, vitals, EKG, endoscopy, phone messages/automated results reporting to patients.

iv) Patient call log for nurse and physician to document calls, with an audit trail.

v) Health Maintenance - Ability to customize for mammograms, PAP smears, Lipid, INR, Statins LFT monitoring at user-defined intervals and to track when they are due.

vi) Order entry for labs and imaging with CPT and ICD9 codes (bidirectional lab interfaces are rare)

vii) Laboratory and Radilogy Interface -HL7 standard, no extra charge for this with flags for abnormals.

viii) Prescription Management - Allergy alert with manual override. Meds List active long term PRN and per problem. Send Rxs directly to Pharmacy. Insurance Formulary. Frequent updates to medication database with side effects and customizable patient handouts. (Patient education hand outs, customized for your practice)

ix) E/M coding with regularly updated ICD and CPT codes automatically generated for encounter (depends on how data is entered - usually available only with templates, few "smart parsers" for free text)

x) Consult letters and tracking for pending consults

xi) Communications - Ability to enter data using handheld. Remote access to EMR using secure connection (Ability to look up patient Demographics, H&P,labs from your home PC)

xii) Back up : ability to backup to tape, CD, RAID, NSD, incremental, offsite with reliable Disaster recovery

xiii) HIPAA compliance
