CLEAR HEALTH CLINICAL HEALTH RECORD FEATURE
A new innovative and unique measure for Electronic Medical Record security
and/or delivery
The Mandate By 2014, it is mandated that all
Americans must have the access of their own medical record
In the state of New York, the mandate started in 2012
And therefore, time is running out to comply to the required mandate
The Institutional Medical Information Services To comply to the mandate,
medical institutions must set up the medical information system that can store, interact, share and secure the patient medical information and date
This will speed up the process of medical operation and treatment
On the Pipe Rochester RHIO, Unity Health, Strong
and RGH have developing the EMR and PHR systems within Rochester medical community to comply to the mandate and serving Rochester community
However, there are a few major problems in the system that needed to be addressed
The Problems Clear Health has discovered two
specific problems in the existing system
@ The Patient Medical Information accessibility and security
@ The potential of electronic hackingThe above problems will cause the
tremendous damage for the system in its context and content in a long term
The central EMR concept The central concept of developing the
EMR and PHR is to create a platform that the service provider and get in, get the information and begin treatment
But this concept create a problem of selecting which one can get in to the patient portal and able to get the record
At the moment Presently, a physician who is in the
EMR network can get in the system by providing the user ID and password
When he get in, he can check out any patient information in the system
This platform creates the dangerous situation that the patient private information can be viewed so easy
Potential Major Problem The concept is to create a pool of
information, that more data in the system will serve more service provider
On the other hand, more users in the system will create a greater chance that the patient medical information to be checked out without good cause
Greater problem The accessibility of the patient medical
information including the physician, nurse, all medical staff and associates
In this instant, a front desk receptionist in one office can get in the system to find out her mother in law PHR from the other office across the state
By Accidence And so, if there is no measure to
prevent any ID user in the system to get in the patient medical information base, this, will be the clear violation of HIPPO compliance
This problem must be addressed and corrected as the system developing
Public Relation disaster If the problem is not corrected, which
patient will sign up to the system if he/she knows that the medical record can be broken to by anyone who has the access of the system
This problem will destroy the whole purpose of the PHR and EMR platform
CLEAR HEALTH VISION In developing our platform, Clear
Health has recognized this problem long time ago and has structured its system to deal with this problem accordingly
Its system will provide the absolute security for the patient in the matter of medical information delivery
CLEAR HEALTH PRINCIPLE According to Clear Health, no one
can get in the patient medical file UNLESS and UNTIL the patient releases his approval to do so
In this instant, the patient is the one who knows who in or out for what purpose and anything else
How it work ( Part I ) The patient and his primary
physician will have the authority to allow who can view the medical file
Commonly, the primary physician will be the one who manage and make the decision on the patient medical file with the patient knowledge and approval
How it work ( Part II ) When the doctor sends a patient to
a specialist, the doctor will request the system to create an electronic link from the doctor to the specialist
With the patient acknowledgement and approval, the system will create the link to set up the communication and interaction process
How it work ( Part III ) The doctor can issue the Approval
Code to the specialist, and the patient medical file will not open UNLESS and UNITIL the system recognize the Approval code
So, if one does not have the Approval Code, one can get to the system, but not the patient medical file
Additional Feature The Approval Code, not only
protect the patient medical file security, but it also provides the electronic record of the parties who got in the file
This feature will be the plus in the matter of medical information liability and accountibility
Pyramid Medical Information System ( PMIS ) One medical information can be
developed as the Pyramid system The top 20% is the general information The next 60% is the medical informs
that required the Doctor Approval Code The last 20% must have the patient
knowledge and approval
Patient E-Approval KEY We have proposed that the patient
will carry an USB as his PHR In addition, the USB can also be
the patient Electronic Key to get in one medical file
It can be the Approval key for the service provider to open the file
Tony Story Tony has been issued an USB as PHR He has been referred to see specialist When he is at the specialist location, he
offers his USB as the E-Approval KEY The system recognizes Tony Approval
key and open his medical for the specialist
Liability Issues By exposing one medical file without
any control mechanism, it will create the problem of who is accounted for the medical information being misused
Clear Health system will create an electronic transaction trail that can be tracked and monitored accordingly
Medical Electronic Trail Ether from the primary physician or
from the patient to provide the approval for entering one medical file
Clear Health system will record in detail with specificity the source, time and other critical elements of one medical file to be open for monitoring purpose
Medical Information Litigation The exposing of one medical file to be
misused can be the litigation subject In this instant Clear Health will work
with the medical community to develop a sound and secure medical information delivery platform to serve the patient needs and prevent medical litigation
The nature of the risk Any subject that using the electronic
network will have a risk of being hacked
It will take less than one hour for a hacker to break in any EMR or medical information database at the moment
And this risk, we must take to deliver our process
Instant E Approval Process A patient being admitted to an ER His USB to be activated in the system The system will contact the primary
physician to request the approval to get in the patient medical file
On the doctor cell phone or PC Press 1 to approve Press 2 to reject
Other relate problem A good hacker, not only can get in
the system to get the information, he can create new information if he’s desired
By the electronic structural setting up one can collect the information in mass and use them for business and/or commercial intention
Let’s recap Clear Health in the process of working
with medical community in the matter of EMR and PHR has discovered the problem of patient medical file security
Its CHR system will provide the absolute security for the patient in the matter of medical information delivery
The Approval Process Clear Health has developed a
process by which no medical file to be open UNLESS and UNTIL the patient or the primary physician approve so
This process will create the protection for medical information liability and accountability
A tough road ahead Clear Health recognizes that there will
be a tough road ahead in the matter of electronic hacking, medical information misuse and other related matters
Clear Health pledge to work hard with the medical service community to deal with the problem squarely to get the positive result
Rochester Community Project Clear Health plan to offer our service
to all medical service providers in Rochester to deal with this problem
If it is the case, Rochester community will be the first to recognize the problem, find the solution and able to serve the patient needs better
Action time The time that we must act as the
community of Rochester as well as medical community is now
The further delay to deal with the problem, the worsen the situation will become
Proactive rather than Reactive Very soon in a near future,
someone with the criminal intention will break in and create tremendous damage
Then, the patient will loose the confidence to the system and undermine the whole process
CLEAR HEALTH Position Clear Health is in position to provide
the immediate service in the matter of patient medical file security
Its capacity to be able to adopt, adapt and adjust to any EMR platforms to provide the security needed in the patient medical file exposure
We’re looking to hear from you Clear Health is looking to hear
from you for further advices, guidance and other opinion about this process
In the medical term, we have found the problem, developed the treatment plan ready to attack the problem and time to act is now
THANK YOU – AND WE’RE LOOKING FORWARD TO WORK WITH YOU
