Project Value Statement

It is a fact that almost all individuals have a very large amount of medical information with their personal physicians. In most cases these physicians store the information about their patients as electric records by making use of the electronic healthcare record (EHR). These types of records are very inefficient mainly for the clients or the patients. This is because the information that is stored in this means is not available to the patient themselves or other physicians if need be. Access can only be availed to other physicians only if the hospital is in an integrated system something that most of them are not. More sadly, the main physicians most of that times experiences delays accessing the patient data needed to treat a patient.

This is very worrying, especially in emergency situations. For example assume that an individual collapses while in a work vacation in another town and is rushed to the nearest hospital. To be able to identify quickly the problem, the doctors may need prior medical records that are not available in this kind of a system. This is why having a centralized information database is very important. A centralized system removes all the bars that are there in the access of effective medical care. It enables a patient to have access to their medical record and gives them the freedom to visit any physician and still have quick access to the data (Lima, John & Liebler 2008). A centralized system helps to make access to health care flexible for the patients. With such a system health care provision is highly improved since any physician can treat an individual with the background of the prior medical records.

The centralized system also helps to add data to the clients because when all the medical records can be accessed from one point, it makes it easy to make strategies of improving healthcare. Organizations that are concerned with formulating policies on how to improve healthcare can be able to have access of all the data from the same point and thus easily identify the major areas where more intervention is needed.

Give an overview of all the value this project will bring to the business.

This system does not only add value to clients and the consumers, but it also adds a lot of value to the healthcare sector itself. With this system, the business bears a ton of benefits along with it. First there is an increase the security of information. One of the main objectives of health care and health care professionals is to uphold the confidentiality of the information of all their clients. With the small electronic record systems, the information is subject to a lot of cyber security issues mainly because they lack the complexity needed to prevent the hacking and many other cyber-crimes. With the centralized system, the level of security for the patient information is taken to a whole other level. For example, for one to have access to information according to this project one has to have an insurance card that is used to access to medical records. The card itself has locks such as pins to ensure that only the owner can use it. With this, access to personal medical information is based on personal terms.

The centralized system of medical record keeping also helps the business to be more effective and efficient (State of California 2015). First it helps to ensure that any physician can have access to past medical records of a patient when treating the patient and this makes the administration of medical care easy and also very effective. This is because they can be able to make decisions on how to treat a patient with the background of the past diagnosis and past health conditions. With the prior medical records, the doctors can decide what drugs to administer and what not to for example if the patient shows allergic reactions in the past. Second this system makes health care effective since the system ensures uniformity of records making it standard and easy to interpret.

This is a very crucial and a highly needed intervention in health care right now and this forms the basis as to why the project should be funded. This project is very holistic and helps to provide a highly needed solution to some of the main problems facing health record management today. The system suggested by the project will not only solve the problem of the inflexibility of access to healthcare, but it will also help to address the issue of security in the health records of the clients. This system will also help to standardize healthcare practice, ease the management of health care information and also ensure simple analysis of health care trends. This makes health care services more efficient, and it is for this reason that it needs to be funded.

The system proposed in this project helps to increase business, in this case, referring to healthcare in the sense that the main objective for healthcare is to reduce the rate of disease and to improve health status. By making healthcare more accessible and by making the analysis of health records easy such that organizations involved in the health information analysis have one point of reference helping them to identify the areas of priority.

The cost may not be reduced at first due to the costs that come with the management of the large data sets but with time ways of saving on the cost will result in a reduction in cost (Davis & LaCour 2014). Customer satisfaction is increased mainly resulting from the increased flexibility.
