Evidence-Based Medicine’s Giant Leap

Cerner and the British Medical Journal (BMJ) have teamed to provide evidence-based medicine (EBM) embedded in the electronic medical record in a manner that is as exciting and encouraging a development in healthcare IT as anything I’ve ever seen — I repeat, as exciting as anything I’ve ever seen. Coming from a noted cynic and [...]

PODCAST: One-on-One w/Beaufort Memorial Hospital VP of IS & CIO Ed Ricks, Chapter 3

Though there are thousands of Meditech hospitals, only a handful are in the in the process of migrating from the Magic to 6.0 platform.

A Systems Engineering Approach to Biomed Informatics

The field of biomedical is full of acronyms — CPOE, HIE, EMR, HL7 — that may be interesting to IT professionals, but merely connote longer days, multiple logins and frustration for clinicians. While people in “healthcare” love it concept of CPOE, physicians feel it slow them down and turns them from docs into secretaries. I recently gave a ground rounds to our large children’s hospital to explain how biomedical informatics is evolving. There is a plan in my mind of how CPOE, HIE, etc., can come together leveraging bar code medication administration and actionable alerts, to prevent beside safety issues and improve care. What will also emerge is quality reporting which can provide data for large scale research.

PODCAST: One-on-One w/ El Camino Hospital CIO Greg Walton, Chapter 2

Implementing a few clinical systems isn’t going to get you applause at El Camino Hospital. That’s because the organization has “been there, done that,” implementing the first CPOE system some 40 years ago. Considering that tough crowd, the CIO role isn’t for newcomers, and Greg Walton is no newcomer. With 40 years in the business [...]

PODCAST: One-on-One w/Hennepin County Medical Center CIO Joanne Sunquist, Chapter 2

In what has become an interesting debate among CIOs — which to do first: CPOE or bedside bar-coded eMAR — smart individuals are coming down passionately on both sides. It’s also interesting that more than a few intrepid souls are counseling both should be done at the same time, though bandwidth constraints leave that group [...]

Survey Says: CIOs Prefer eMAR-First Strategy

Over 75 percent of CIOs prefer to take on the massive challenge of implementing bedside-barcoded electronic medication administration records (eMAR) versus the equally massive task of converting to CPOE, according to the May healthsystemCIO.com SnapSurvey. But it doesn’t look like a weakness in the clinical decision support functionality of CPOE is to blame for the eMAR preference.

FDA to Recommend New Physician Certification

The FDA has been receiving a great deal of criticism from the clinical community about a variety of issues, but probably none is as contentious as the ongoing patient safety issues regarding harmful drug-drug interactions and drug-gene interactions, estimated by the Institute of Medicine to cause 250,000 deaths each year in the U.S.
The current generation [...]

At HIMSS 2010, GE Healthcare IT tried to make a splash with the release of its Qualibria clinical knowledge management platform.

PBM versus EHR: Culture Clash?

Individualizing drug therapy based on pharmacogenomics (PGx) is considered by many academic researchers and clinical experts as the “next significant domain of clinical practice” (see the American College of Clinical Pharmacology’s very informative web-based tutorial, “The Future of Medicine: Pharmacogenomics”, http://user.accp1.org/index_new.html).
Drugs that are currently recommended for PGx testing by the FDA include specific medications that [...]

New Mandatory Genomics Education is Imminent

An HHS committee on Physician and Patient Education is developing new certification requirements for hospital physicians in genomics and pharmacogenomics.  Most hospital physicians, unless your specialty is oncology or obstetrics, are not familiar with anything but diseases inherited as classical Mendelien traits.  These new rules will require basic certification in both classical genetics and the [...]

Feds Enable Genome-based EHR

Although not mentioned as one of the ‘Meaningful Use’ or ‘Initial Set of Standards and Certification Criteria’ for a Certified or Complete Electronic Health Record (see http://healthit.hhs.gov/blog/onc/), a new federal guideline to enable the use of personal genomic data in EHRs is being developed, according to sources within HHS.  The U.S. Veterans Affairs Department (VA), [...]

FDA Expands Gene Testing for Drug Prescription

“The FDA considers both unwanted harmful effects and lack of efficacy to be adverse events. When considering candidates for pharmacogenomic relabeling, the FDA evaluates the severity of the adverse reaction, the degree to which genetics predicts the reaction, and the total number of individuals likely to be affected.  These factors are important in assessing the [...]

One-on-One w/MedStar Health’s Gerry Higgins

Gerald Higgins, PhD., MBA, MS, is not your typical CIO — that’s because Higgins is a chief innovation officer. Getting paid not to carry out EMR implementations or persuade physicians to embrace CPOE, Higgins is remunerated to “see what’s happening one or two hills over the horizon.” With a dizzying array of jobs and accomplishments [...]
