Unit 7 Assignment 1: Differences Between EHRs: Key Assessment for Learning Objective #2

Research the differences between EHRs in ambulatory and acute care settings to create a comparison document.

Step One: Research the differences between EHRs in ambulatory and acute care settings. 

Step Two: Develop a comparison for the ambulatory EHR and acute care EHR. Ensure that the following are addressed in the comparison:

• Infrastructure
• Data presentation
• Data use
• Documentation
• Order Entry
• Medication Administration
• Results (including imaging)
• Reporting
• Patient Education
• Interfaces

Step Three: Submit your comparison for grading. Your documentation should be in Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel format. Cite all sources in APA format.

Research and discuss the differences from a patient and provider perspective when an E-Visit is used for care instead of a tradtional ambulatory visit.

Step One: Research the typical patient and provider (physician or advanced practice provider) workflow for an ambulatory, in person, visit.

Step Two: Research the typical patient and provider (physician or advanced practice provider) workflow for an E-Visit, online.

Step Three: Create workflows to depict from both the patient and provider perspective the workflow for both an ambulatory visit and an E-Visit.

Step Four: Discuss in a 2-3 page paper your findings including the commonalities between the two visit types and the differences.

Step Five: Submit your workflows and paper for grading. Your workflows can be in Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Visio, or Adobe Acrobat format.  Your paper should be in Microsoft Word format.  Cite all sources in APA format.
