Brief Summary:
The Taconic IPA a 2500 physician independent practice association IPA located in Fishkill New York NY is involved in an information technology project to improve the quality safety and efficiency of healthcare in the region Over the past three years the organization has worked with area hospitals and laboratories to create a community wide electronic data exchange Currently the Taconic IPA is in the midst of implementing a full electronic health record in some practices and e-prescribing in other practices The purpose is to study the impact of an electronic health record on safety and quality measures
Detailed Description:
We propose to measure differences in patient safety and quality measures among three groups the control group consisting of physicians with paper-based office practices a group of physicians using the clinical messaging system and electronic prescribing and a group of physicians using the EMR and electronic prescribing
We plan to introduce a vendor based electronic prescribing system by July 2005 This system will be offered to all physicians using clinical messaging and will be integrated with the EMR system The system will have clinical decision support such as checks for drug-drug interactions
Our evaluation will measure differences in rates of medication errors and quality measures amongst these three groups We will use a study design of a pre-post evaluation with a comparison control group We will detect medical errors by prescription and chart review We will determine compliance with quality measures through a combination of electronic data and chart review
