Secondary Data Sources in Healthcare Facilities

ASSIGNMENT: Secondary Data Sources
Preparation: Read the Processing and Maintenance of Secondary Databases section of Chapter 6 in the Oachs and Watters text. (Page 191-193 in the 5th edition)
While the reading focuses on data from patient health records being abstracted or moving electronically into secondary data source systems, more and more we are having to consider data from secondary data sources being used to add to the primary health record. Examples:
1. A patient brings in their personal health record that contains health information from 2 other primary care providers at local clinics. They want this information added to their health record at your hospital.
2. Inbound HIE data from an earlier encounter from an unrelated provider is electronically received for a patient's health records
3. Inbound data from the patient portal is received many times a day as patients update their demographic or insurance information on the patient portal
4. Data is received from smart devices such as ambulatory heart monitors or insulin monitors and is downloaded into patient records
It would be inefficient for all of this inpatient data to be manually checked for validity. Please describe in 2-3 paragraphs (400-500 words) how a healthcare organization could assure that this incoming data is valid and accurate. Be sure to specifically address how systems would be set up, as well as standards and policies that would need to be set.

One of the main goals of HIE is to keep the most important clinical or medical records for a patient, so that it can be easily accessed at any time. The goal is to ensure easy collaboration between the relevant healthcare personnel and even stakeholders. HIE allows the sharing of the vital information between patients and medical personnel, which in the long run plays an important role in the provision of quality healthcare and better clinical outcomes for the patient. Timely sharing of such information is critical in preventing misdiagnosis and medication errors, reducing readmissions, and generally helping in timely treatment. There are three main ways of information exchange; the directed exchange, customer mediated exchange and the query based exchange.
The method for approving the incoming data depends on the situation. Every healthcare organization has its own protocol that guides its operations, especially in relation to other organizations that it relates with. There are also procedures when it comes to data handling and information
