PAPER 1 HEALTH

Electronic Medical Record

1.- A unique identifier, often an integer, that labels a certain row in a table of a relation-al database

.2. Health information exchange is a work in progress, but the first step is transitioning from paper to electronic records (computer files). Health care providers of all sizes—from a small practice to a large medical center—must purchase an electronic medical records system (EMR) to computerize their records. The computerized records are called electronic health records (EHRs). Once it has electronic records, the provider will likely contract with an HIE or HIO so it can exchange medical data with other providers. Providers may directly request records from other providers, called a “point-to-point” solution. But having an HIE or HIO in the middle to facilitate the transaction seems to have become the standard practice.

3. It is “the right of individuals to keep information about themselves from being disclosed to others; the claim of individuals to be let alone, from surveillance or interference from other individuals, organizations or the government”.

Project Gerhome

- Oximetry Sensor and Pressure sensors

2. Video monitoring devices fitted in the person's house, allow nursing staff to check in at any time. An amount of privacy is traded off for freedom to stay at home. To help soften the blow, and to aid telehealth-care, a monitor/terminal system fitted in the house, allows doctors, specialists, and friends & family to 'call in' and check up on the person via videoconferencing. With the case of family, who often live across the country, the system reinforces family ties. As far as monitoring goes, everything is checked, from electricity consumption, movement, to chair and bed occupation, the aim is to determine a resident's "normal" behavior, then monitor for any deviation, that can then be analyzed by the software, and flagged when it deviates too much from norm. The system can detect the slight changes in natural rhythms that can give doctors and carers early warning of possible trouble ahead.

3. To a great extent because there is no person watching the elderly person in the house, they can see everything what happens in other places, because it sends signals from what is happening.
