Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
paper records and all charting activities were completed manually (MediServe). Therapists would use abbreviations in charting, which were neither accurate or efficient (MediServe). While using paper charting was not a
lengthy process, typically taking between 45 seconds and 1.5 minutes, the information was "unclear" and "inaccurate" (MediServe). Furthermore, in many cases, it did not meet the requirements for reimbursement. Overall,
in the Respiratory Care Department, in busier times, between 10 and 20 percent of charting was not being completed (MediServe). As this documentation was not submitted, the charge would simply
disappear, which means a resulting lost reimbursement for SUNY (MediServe). Also therapies were scheduled using a whiteboard, which resulted in "inefficient care, mistakes and confusion" (MediServe). After implementing MediLinks
in May of 2005, SUNY has been able to capture all necessary documentation, accurately and completely (MediServe). Documentation is now legible and thorough, as the system provides prompts to caregivers
to fill out all sections of the patient documentation process (MediServe). Furthermore, MediLinks organizes all data by category when completed, which prepares SUNY for any possible insurance audit. Prior to
implementing the MediLinks system, 10 percent of all charges were rejected or disavowed when audits occurred (MediServe). Additionally, MediLinks has aided in establishing a uniform wireless system that synchronizes and
interfaces with the a new computerized patient order entry system. Therapists use tablets at the patient bedside, which enhances mobility while providing access to all necessary data (MediServe). These two
systems, interactively, increase the ability of this facility to treat more patients with increased inefficiency. Consequently, SUNY reports that a complete return on their investment was obtained in only eight
months (MediServe). This writer/tutor has no knowledge of what may be the needs of the students healthcare organization. However, JCAHO has published their 2007 National Patient Safety Goals, with
