AbstractData are presented on the use of a browsing and encoding utility to improve coded data entry for an electronic patient record system. Traditional and computerized discharge summaries were compared: during three phases of coding ICD-9 diagnoses phase I, no coding; phase II, manual coding, and phase III, computerized semiautomatic coding. Our data indicate that (1) only 50% of all diagnoses in a discharge summary are encoded manually; (2) using a computerized browsing and encoding utility this percentage may increase by 64%; (3) when forced to encode manually, users may “shift” as much as 84% of relevant diagnoses from the appropriate coding section to other sections thereby “bypassing” the need to encode, this was reduced by up to 41 % with the computerized approach, and (4) computerized encoding can improve completeness of data encoding, from 46 to 100%. We conclude that the use of a computerized browsing and encoding tool can increase data quality and the percentage of documented data. Mechanisms bypassing the need to code can be avoided.

AbstractThe benefits for any health care provider of successfully introducing an Electronic Patient Record System (EPRS) into their organisation can be considerable. It has the potential to enhance both clinical care and managerial processes, as well as producing more cost-effective care and care programmes across clinical disciplines and health care sectors. However, realising an EPRS's full potential can be a long and difficult process and should not be entered into lightly. Introducing an EPR System involves major personnel, organisational and technological changes. These changes must be interwoven and symbiotic and must be managed so that they grow together in stages towards a vision created and shared by all clinical professional staff, other staff, and managers in that process. The use of traditional “building” or “journey” metaphors inadequately reflects the complexity, uncertainty and, therefore, the unpredictability of the process. We propose that a more useful metaphor may be of “growing” a progressively more united, unified information system and health care organisation. We suggest this metaphor better recognises that the evolutionary process appears to be more organic than predictable and more systemic than mechanistic. An illustration is given of how these organisational clinical and technical issues might evolve and interweave in a hospital setting through a number of stages.
