Abstract
Information management is critical in today's health care environment. Traditional paper-based medical records are inadequate information management tools. Electronic medical records (EMRs) overcome many problems with paper records and are ideally suited to help physicians increase productivity and improve the quality of care they provide. The Department of Family Medicine at the Medical University of South Carolina uses the Practice Partner Patient Record EMR system. Department members have developed a quality improvement model based on this EMR system. The model has been used to improve care for acute bronchitis, diabetes mellitus, tobacco abuse, asthma, and postmenopausal osteoporosis.
信息管理在当今的医疗保健环境中至关重要。传统的纸质医疗记录是不充分的信息管理工具。电子医疗记录(emr)克服了纸质记录的许多问题，非常适合帮助医生提高工作效率和改善他们提供的护理质量。南卡罗来纳医科大学的家庭医学系使用的是Practice Partner Patient Record EMR系统。部门成员根据电子病历系统制定了一套质量改进模式。该模型已被用于改善急性支气管炎、糖尿病、烟草滥用、哮喘和绝经后骨质疏松症的护理。
