While the reading focusses 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:
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.
Inbound HIE data from an earlier encounter from an unrelated
provider is electronically received for a patient’s health records
Inbound data from the patient portal is received many times a day
as patients update their demographic or insurance information on
the patient portal
Data is received from smart devices such as ambulatory heart
monitors or insulin monitors and is downloaded into patient
records
