HIT professionals must always remember that each record represents the healthcare experience of a real patient. Read the story below to see how a patient’s care can be affected by medical record issues:”Regina lost her husband, Fred Holliday, to kidney cancer at a young age. During a period of time where his main oncologist was out of town, Fred was hospitalized. Regina attempted to obtain health information about his case with little success. She knew that if she had good quality data, she would be able to help in his care and hopefully help get him better. She asked for a copy of Fred’s inpatient health record so she could try and understand what was happening, and was told it would take 21 days and would cost 73 cents per page. The next day she was told her husband would be sent home on a Patient-Controlled Anesthesia (PCA) pump. She and her husband were totally distraught. However, Regina tried to get a second opinion.Once her husband was transferred, they were given an old and incomplete health record and transfer summary. The new facility where they went to seek a second opinion spent 6 hours trying to recreate his record so that they could provide proper care, which meant that her husband had to wait for 6 hours before care was provided. The physician from this new facility sent Regina back to the old facility to obtain her husband’s health records. She received them only because she was now considered a courier. Her new healthcare team read the record and then Regina read the record. It was full of what Regina calls “actionable data” and if she would have had this quality data, she knows her husband would have received better care.Regina Holliday is a major patient advocate, traveling the world and speaking about the importance of the Electronic Health Record and health IT and how good quality data is so important for providing good quality care.”Consider the Holliday’s experience in terms of data quality. 1. List 3 data quality characteristics and explain the following criteria for each. 2. Identify how each one was or was not upheld in this case. 3. Identify how each of the 3 characteristics affected Mr. Holliday’s care. 4. Identify how secondary data sources are used in the HIM profession and how those sources affect the outcome of this scenario. 5. Report on the importance of the reliability and accuracy of the secondary data sources related to this scenario? 6. Promote how current trends in the HIM field might improve the negative issues presented in this case study? (Give specific examples of the trends)
