We present a novel epilepsy fellow–driven transfer clinic model and discuss the challenges experienced in finding sustainability; this is timely as many pioneering transition clinics are dissolving across North America. The goal of this clinic was to improve patient care and satisfaction, as measured by a post-visit telephone survey. Unfortunately, our transfer clinic model proved unsustainable due to several factors, broadly categorized as (1) cultural-societal differences between the pediatric and adult health care environments, (2) staffing issues, (3) lack of an established standardized process for transfer of care, and (4) financial and administrative barriers. We suggest potential solutions to these challenges, but the fate of transition and transfer of care clinics may ultimately depend on implementation of practice, policy, and/or financial guidelines.

The Way

In the present, where we live a pandemic because of Covid-19, it presents a challenge and change in the way we live for all, in which a different way of being able to receive health care must be created. in this research aimed to implement the electronic medical records system to improve patient care, such research is descriptive-explanatory in which a population of 67 patients from a health center is sampled. In conclusion, the implementation of the Electronic Medical Records System improved patient administrative care at the Health Center.

Improve Patient

Abstract Electronic medical records have been touted as a solution to many of the shortcomings of health care systems. The aim of this essay is to review pertinent literature and present examples and recommendations from several decades of experience in the use of medical records in primary health care, in ways that can help primary care doctors to organize their work processes to improve patient care. Considerable problems have been noted to result from a lack of interoperability and standardization of interfaces among these systems, impairing the effective collaboration and information exchange in the care of complex patients. It is extremely important that regional and national health policies be established to assure standardization and interoperability of systems. Lack of interoperability contributes to the fragmentation of the information environment. The electronic medical record (EMR) is a disruptive technology that can revolutionize the way we care for patients. The EMR has been shown to improve quality and reliability in the delivery of healthcare services when appropriately implemented. Careful attention to the impact of the EMR on clinical workflows, in order to take full advantage of the potential of the EMR to improve patient care, is the key lesson from our experience in the deployment and use of these systems.

Improve Patient

Safety in healthcare has not significantly improved in the last 20 years with an estimated 5 to 10% of patients admitted to hospital suffering from adverse events. Health care is a service that can encourage optimal health outcomes only through meaningful, collaborative partnerships between patients and clinicians. Co-production of health services can be used as a means to rethink how health care is delivered with patients as co-creators rather than passive recipients of health care assisting healthcare organisations towards safer and more responsive care. Technology can improve patients’ agency over their care when consumers are able to personalize their experience while using an organization’s service and in return undertake specific tasks needed by the organization. Patients can be the pivot point of safer hospital care, not only in the context of face-to-face encounters in which the benefits of working together are obvious, but also in designing systems that can improve patient care, increase satisfaction and enhance the value of care.
