Homework 1
1. Over the years, information technology within the healthcare setting have been increasing. The implementation of the current Electronic Health Record System has been very beneficial as well as challenging to clinics in rural settings that treat patients that are diagnosed with cancer. Clinics in rural area that treats cancer patients needs an EHR system whose software is tailored to fit the needs of oncology care and has the ability to remotely access patient information from hospitals, home and also within the clinic. To keep up with the latest legislative and judicial changes in regards to healthcare technology, medical organizations and third parties have started utilizing electronic health records to expedite communication …show more content…
The technical feasibility is the first feasibility study which needs to be conducted. This is mainly revolving around the study to find that the rural clinic has the technological competencies to develop the EHR system. This will find what are the technology requirements, what type of specialist engineers and software engineers would be necessary? What are the equipment that would be used and also what are the other miscellaneous resources or supplies required? The one who is implementing must recognize and classify all setups and how the new system need to be implemented? Schedule feasibility is necessary to plan clearly about the project in the early stage and how much time is necessary to complete the project based upon the requirements and by checking whether the project is going on with the desired ending results. Next, operational feasibility study would cover the ways to use the opportunity during the development of the EHR implementation. Finally, the significant study would be the economic feasibility study, which would discover whether the cost of the EHR is something that the rural clinic would be able to have the funds for with the current financial position of the clinic. Economic feasibility will give good use to the clinic and economically also, as it deals with technology there will be little …show more content…
• It disregards or eliminates paper work.
• It gives much scope for digital health records instead of paper.
• Patients and healthcare providers can access health information through internet and patient portal from anywhere at any time.
• One can deliver much faster service by providing data about clinical services to cancer patients and other patients with different medical conditions.
• Utilize the Implemented technology to increase revenue and become lean and trim operation cost and also unnecessary expenses like paper cost, file cost and storage cost.
T--> Threats to Electronic Health Record
• There are high chances for other new systems, which provide this services with more advanced features.
• Improve digital security due to hacking.
• Software companies also might expand their protected services to health market.
• Utilize the Implemented EHR technology to decrease the risk of non-compliance of regulatory requirements.
• Cyber-attacks are possible because of internet connectivity.
• There is a high chance of market pressure and
