Perspectives in Health
Information Management is a peer-reviewed research journal published by the
AHIMA Foundation. It is available online at http://perspectives.ahima.org/. The
Spring 2012 issue of this journal includes an article titled “The Impact of
Electronic Health Record Usage on Cancer Registry Systems in Alabama” authored
by Shannon H. Houser, PhD, MPH, RHIA; Shannon Colquitt, RHIA; Kay Clements, MA,
RHIA, CCS, CPC; and Susan Hart-Hester, PhD. This descriptive study revealed
specific benefits and challenges associated with the use of electronic health
records within cancer registry programs. It demonstrates how research can guide
HIM professionals and cancer registry specialists in their efforts to optimize
the use of EHR systems to improve the data workflow efficiency and data quality
within the cancer registry system.
Review Research Article:
Requirements
Answer the following
questions based on your review of the research article “The Impact of
Electronic Health Record Usage on Cancer Registry Systems in Alabama” in the
Spring 2012 issue of Perspective in Health Information Management.
What was the purpose
of doing this study?
What was the sampling
method employed in this study? What is the limitation of this type of sampling
method?
What research method
was employed in this study and what procedure was used to employ it with the
participants?
What types of
statistical analyses were applied to the data collected in this study?
The author states,
“Despite the fact that 55 of the 67 counties in Alabama are designated as
“rural,” nearly all study participants (97%) were from urban facilities, compared
to only 3% from rural areas.” What factor in this study design do you think
influenced (caused) this disparity in urban versus rural facility participants
in the study?
What specific types of
patient care documentation issues that limit the usefulness of the EHR to the
cancer registry program were identified by the participants in this study?
