C802_task1.docx C802 Task 1: EHR Functions A. Listfourelectronic health record (EHR) functions needed by clinical end-users in the acute care setting. 1.

Four essential functions are – Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE), Clinician Decision Support (CDS), Point of Care (POC) technology, and Electronic Medication Administration Record (EMAR) (Amataykul). The combined use of these applications aids in documentation accuracy, and accelerated decision making and care.

CPOE offers copious benefits when relating to overall cost, efficiency and continuing support (Amataykul). CPOE allows clinicians to gather and record crucial medical documentation in a HIPAA (Health insurance and Accountability Act) secure environment worldwide. CDS provides reminders, context-sensitive order sets and templates (Amataykul). In addition, CDS can prevent errors in order entry which could have negative impacts on the patient. CDS can theoretically improve efficiency, reduce costs and reduce patient inconvenience. . In reality, CDS can tackle all of these capacities at the same time. In the hasty atmosphere of acute care, this functionality can provide indispensable support to clinicians to provide the best after-effec. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . .. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . .
