Introduction:The Electronic Health Record (EHR) is now the standard means for recording and maintaining medical notes in most emergency departments. The EHR is an independent cause of physician burnout, and maintenance of the EHR may occupy 30 to 50% of clinical time. There are software solutions available, but they are connected to fixed, expensive, distracting, and bright electronically powered computers. Scribes have been successfully trialed, but are also expensive and attached to computers on wheels. Portable digital word processors in the form of the AlphaSmart Neo is a redundant technology designed primarily for children with typing difficulties. It has recently enjoyed a resurgence in popularity among professional writers, journalists, and field researchers for the ultimate distraction-free writing experience. The Alphasmart Neo is cheap, nearly indestructible, intuitive, and requires almost no recharging. It is compatible with all software across Mac OS, Windows, and Linux. Notes are entered by the clinician or scribe, independently of computers, at the bedside, and uploaded to any software via USB cable.Aim:To describe the introduction and impact of the AlphaSmart Neo on the EHR in emergency departments across Australia.Methods:We will examine the role of the Alphasmart Neo in austere, low power, extreme environments with a demonstration on how to enter, maintain, and transfer an electronic health record independent of any computer or power source.Discussion:We believe the AlphaSmart Neo is an ideal, personalized, cheap, effective, and efficient hardware solution to entering notes independent of other software and hardware. It is distraction free at the patient’s bedside, resulting in better notes that the clinician enjoys writing.

National Trends

Over 90% of US hospitals provide patients with access to e-copy of their health records, but the utilization of electronic health records by the US consumers remains low. Guided by the comprehensive information-seeking model, this study used data from the National Cancer Institute’s Health Information National Trends Survey 4 (Cycle 4) and examined the factors that explain the level of electronic health record use by cancer patients. Consistent with the model, individual information-seeking factors and perceptions of security and utility were associated with the frequency of electronic health record access. Specifically, higher income, prior online information seeking, interest in accessing health information online, and normative beliefs were predictive of electronic health record access. Conversely, poorer general health status and lack of health care provider encouragement to use electronic health records were associated with lower utilization rates. The current findings provide theory-based evidence that contributes to the understanding of the explanatory factors of electronic health record use and suggest future directions for research and practice.

Purpose To describe the role of hematology/oncology clinical pharmacists in health information technology as well as their perceptions of the impact of technology expansion on patient care. Methods A single-center, web-based survey was distributed to 30 hematology/oncology clinical pharmacists by email over the two-week-period of 24 September 2018 to 8 October 2018. The anonymous survey was composed of 19 questions, with varying formats including multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, and rank order. Primary endpoints were quantification of time spent in the electronic health record and perceptions on how technology expansion has impacted the safety, quality, and efficiency of patient care. Results Twenty-seven hematology/oncology clinical pharmacists (90% response rate) completed the survey in its entirety. Respondents reported that they spend an average of 84.1% of their work day in the electronic health record. Based on a 40-h work week, clinical pharmacists indicated that they spend approximately 32.2 h each week performing direct patient care tasks in the electronic health record compared to 3.7 h on indirect patient care tasks. All respondents reported a greater utilization of technology over the last five years, and most respondents felt that patient care is safer, of better quality, and more efficient with technology expansion. The majority of respondents (81.5%) indicated that clinical pharmacists have the best understanding of the health information technology system, followed by generalist pharmacists and informatics pharmacists. Conclusion The hematology/oncology clinical pharmacist is well positioned to serve as a health information technology leader on the interdisciplinary healthcare team.
