Medical Record Infrastructures: An Overview of Critical Standards
and Classifications Hardcover: 320 pages
Electronic Medical Record Infrastructures gives an overview of the critical information structures and standards required to build multifunctional electronic medical records (EMR). The author emphasizes descriptions and critiques of present clinical coding systems. He provides in-depth design criteria required for the practical classification environment. Description and critique of present clinical coding systems is emphasized, followed by the development of ideal design criteria required to support the electronic capture, presentation, and analyses of patient observations, findings, and events. The relationship of medical knowledge representation to patient data classification is examined, in the context of integrating clinical decision support systems and contextually appropriate guidelines into EMR systems. The role of messaging and content standards for the EMR is considered, covering the existing standards today, and those under active development that are likely to influence system implementation and functionality in the near future. Christopher G. Chute, M.D., Dr.P.H., is Professor of Medical Informatics, and Head of the Section of Medical Information Resources at the Mayo Clinic. He is also editor and contributor to the book, Cancer Informatics. Please remember that the government no longer allows a grace period for annual code sets. The new HIPAA Transaction and Code Set Rule requires providers to use national medical code sets that are valid at the time that a service is provided. ICD-9-CM code revisions become effective October 1st each year while CPT and HCPCS code revisions become effective January 1st. In order for you to meet this requirement, you must have the revised CPT, HCPCS, and ICD-9-CM codes in your possession before the implementation dates. The best way to do this is to order your code books early. Review current coding resources.
