This is an EHR Go example patient. Gladys is a 74-year-old retired teacher who remains active by volunteering at the school. She has multiple chronic health problems that she manages fairly well. She has just been transferred from the PACU to the Medical-Surgical unit following a left (total knee arthroplasty) TKA.
Gladys will need an assessment, pain management, wound care, glucose monitoring, and routine post-op care following a TKA. Patient and family education is needed, as well as care planning. Using the chapter in the textbook Six Key Technologies to Support Accountable Care as your paper topics or subheadings, identify pathways for improvement in the care provided to Gladys. Dr. Glaser highlights areas including
1. revenue cycle management,
2. care management,
3. rules engines and decision support,
4. analytics and business intelligence,
5. systems for exchanging information, and
6. technologies that support patient engagement. Identify systems or technologies that help each of these areas.
Think of this as an opportunity to create an organizational roadmap to support TKA patients. Your paper should be 6 -10 pages double spaced with a minimum of 5 external citations. To review information relevant to Gladys: https://web21.ehrgo.com/rd/?courseActivityId=217
