Overall, 62% of physicians and 81% of patients have a positive perception of documenting patient care electronically. Forty-five percent of patients had a "very positive" perception of their physician or clinician documenting patient care with a computer or other electronic device. More than 60% of physicians feel the best benefit to using EHR is the access they have to patient records in real time. Physicians also believe that the ability to seamlessly share information with other doctors, pharmacies and payers are one among the most important benefits.

Just click the blue button in the patient EHR portal and download data into a personal health record or a printout. Sounds simple enough. Late yesterday, my successor at a publication I was the primary writer of until late last year, cited the importance of the Blue Button, particularly when coupled with Microsoft’s HealthVault PHR platform. (If I turned in my story as late as 4:52 p.m. for that client, I would have been docked at least $150, but that’s neither here nor there.)

The Texas Medical Board technically suspended Dr. Rolando G. Arafiles Jr. but allowed him to continue to practice medicine while on probation for four years if he completes additional training. The board also said Arafiles must be monitored by another physician and submit patient medical and billing records for review. The monitor will report his or her findings to the board. In the mediated order signed in Austin, the board concluded that Arafiles failed to treat emergency room patients properly, did...

On the surface, the inter-office mail envelope might seem harmless, but it can lead to big problems. There often is no way to track a missing form, for instance, nor an effective means to quickly resolve bottlenecks. Those innocent delays in document or form routing can produce unforeseen consequences, which may lead to noncompliance with important policies.

Others destroy them. Glenmark Pharmaceuticals, one of India’s large generic drugmakers, is in that second category. We know because the company was sanctioned by a federal judge for destroying more than a year’s worth of potential evidence that could have factored into patent litigation with Abbott Laboratories and Sanofi-Aventis over plans to introduce a generic version of a blood pressure med known as Tarka. In fact, Glenmark produced just three e-mails in response to discovery requests for an entire year’s worth of material and allegedly engaged in a “systematic document destruction policy,” in which documents and e-mails were retained on company servers for only one month. The ruling, whic...

Sullivan is known for a few things - president of Rockpointe, a medical education communications company; a founding member of the Association of Clinical Researchers and Educators, and his Policy and Medicine blog, where he rails against government oversight of the pharmaceutical industry. Besides being an avid defender of CME, he is also a vociferous critic of Chuck Grassley, the Senate Republican who is investigating various pharma issues, including CME. Over the past few days, however, Sullivan has been scrutinized himself. That’s because the Drug Industry Document Archive at the University of California at San Francisco released something Sullivan didn’t want made public - his funding from pharma. In a July 6, 2...

It is primarily prescribed to treat depression by primary care physicians and psychiatrists. It is a popular antidepressant. And it’s also a big money maker for its manufacturer, Forest Laboratories. So you have to wonder, how do drug companies “educate” docs about the greatness of their products? How does one get an antidepressant to become “popular.” Embarrassing documents released through an investigation by the Senate’s Special Committee on Aging into the drug manufacturer’s marketing practices describes the process in grueling detail: Under “Lunch and Learns,” the company intended to spend $36 million providing lunch to doctors ...

I’ve been following the medical home concept and technology surrounding the initiatives for some time now and am excited to hear consumer electronics companies, traditional IT firms, and finally existing healthcare technology providers finally getting into the fray. To explain the medical home concept I invited Ned Moore, CEO, Co-founder & Chairman of Portico Systems, to explain what the medical home is all about. Here’s what Ned had to say: The patient-centered medical home is a care delivery model where physicians act as health “quarterbacks” or “coaches” to deliver coordinated primary care t...

I tested on a directory containing mixed bag of PDFs, books, book chapters, articles and misc stuff. Most of the time the data was extracted but I ended with a wrong reference or garbage information about the file. Not mentoning that it took almost one full hour to analyse a little bit more than 500 files. I think I need to buy an eight-core machine now. The CPU peaked at 25-30% (one full core for it) on Vista, and the memory got up to 300 Mbs. Not impressed, maybe one day.

For example, think about the feature we call document management. I can pretty much guarantee you that EVERY EHR vendor out there can easily answer that they have a document management system. Honestly, most of them can do so without it even falling under what I’ve called EMR sales miscommunications. However, there’s an important question that those interested in using an EHR should consider. Did you’re EHR make the feature sexy or is it just getting by? Continuing with the document management example. Does your EHR software’s document management basically consist of uploading a document into the paper chart and possibly naming the file you uploaded?

It seems that it is based on Qt, and a good point (maybe the only one) is that the program is cross-platform. I decided to give it a go and import around 700 PDFs that I have in one directory (I’m using it on Vista). It has been almost an hour already and the import hasn’t ended, and it is using one core of my AMD CPU. Process Lasso already lowered its priority 10 times, because it is taking too much cycles. For read a PDF file? Yep, uninstalling it soon. And not recommending it at all. I will keep using Citeulike, Zotero and the like. (Source: B...

Thomas Farina, 41, and the reps who reported to him allegedly took these actions in the summer of 2004, when they knew Pfizer was under investigation for promoting the unnamed drug for unapproved uses - and after they were specifically instructed to preserve all related documents, according to the US Attorney’s office. Reached at home, Farina declined to comment and his attorney refused to respond to several messages. UPDATE: The Pfizer drugs approved for the uses described in the indictm...

Hey, mistakes happen in all walks of life. And labs are not immune. But there are a few steps we can take to protect ourselves. Here they are: Ask your doctor about the lab he or she uses. It should be accredited and approved by the College of American Pathologists, a sign the lab meets high standards. If you can see the test tube or slide, make sure your name is on it. If you are in the hospital, make sure your wristband is accurate. If test results surprise you, ask your doctor about them. If the doctor didn't expect the result either, maybe it's worth investigating or at minimum, repeating the test. Get a copy of all lab results and reports. Patients have a right to these.
