Reporting and Analysis
In this assignment, you will review and analyze the results of two EHR reports.
Part One
- Access two reports generated from a hospital EHR as linked here:
- Open the ADT Selections Report.
- How many patients are listed on the report?
- What admit date is listed at the top of the report?
- What field name (column heading) is the report sorted by? This means, what does the report seem to be in a particular order by?
- Open the Frequency of Intervention Actions report. Answer the following questions about it:
- What field name (column heading) is the report sorted by? This means, what does the report seem to be in a particular order by?
- What two interventions are listed under G18.5 Compliance with safety precaution?
- How was S69.0 Edema Control monitored, according to this report?
- Now, access the Interventions by Type of Action Report
- What is the total number of interventions for this report? (not # of types)
- What percentage of interventions are of the ‘Perform’ type?
- How many interventions are of the ‘Assess’ type?
Hint: If you are not asked for a “percentage,” don’t answer with a percentage! - Copy and upload your answer sheet to the module drop box.
Answer the following questions:
Part Two
In the same Word document, now write an essay on the following (10 points):
- Why do you think it is important to have the ability to retrieve data from a database that represents various study topics?
- What do you think a report like the one you just generated could be used for?
- Comment on how issues with data integrity would affect developing usable reports. Data integrity deals with the consistency, reliability, and accuracy of the data that have been entered.
