Purpose: There is a dearth of literature regarding the documentation of advance care planning (ACP) in the geriatric population, despite the controversial, yet well-studied need for ACP. The purpose of this pilot study was to provide an update to a prior study from our institution that outlined the need for increased documentation of advance care planning (ACP) in an urban geriatric population. Methods: Our study involved using telemedicine to conduct dedicated ACP visits and an electronic medical record (EMR) note-template specifically designed for these visits in an attempt to increase the amount of documented ACP in the EMR in this population. Results: The study did not yield significant results due to the inability to schedule enough patients for these dedicated visits. Discussion: While our study was ultimately unsuccessful, 3 crucial lessons were identified that will inform and fuel future interventions by the authors to further the study of documentation of ACP.

Medical Record Audit

This pilot study sought to describe the diagnostic pathways for patients with lung cancer and explore the feasibility of a medical record audit for this purpose. An audit of 25 medical records of patients with a confirmed diagnosis of lung cancer was conducted, at a single outer metropolitan hospital in Victoria. Patients were presented to secondary care from general practice (n = 17, 68%), the emergency department (n = 3, 12%) or specialist rooms (n = 1, 4%). Those who journeyed through general practice experienced the longest median intervals to diagnosis (20 days, interquartile range 7–47). The majority of patients (n = 15, 60%) were referred by a specialist to a multidisciplinary team after a diagnosis had been confirmed but before treatment commenced. These patients waited a median of 20 days from their first specialist appointment to a multidisciplinary team appointment. This research illustrated that a variety of pathways to diagnosis exist. Critically, it requires patient data and additional auditing of primary, public and private health sector records to determine generalisability of findings and the effectiveness of a medical record audit as a data collection tool.

Background and Purpose: Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring is crucial to decision making for neurologically injured patients, yet measurement of ICP varies greatly among practitioners. Methods: Unblinded, nonrandomized, observational pilot study comparing ICP values collected using pen and paper (P&P), electronic medical record (EMR), and video data with continuous data acquisition (CDA) technology. Results: ICP values did not significantly differ between EMR and P&P records, despite an average of 16 minutes difference in reporting times. ICP values varied significantly when comparing CDA data to EMR or paper. Conclusion: The results of this pilot study put in to question the validity of ICP values that are recorded in the medical record, which has implications for patient care and research.

Before And After Study

A prospective quasi-experimental before-and-after study of an electronic medical record–anchored intervention of embedded education on appropriate urine culture indications and indication selection reduced the number of urine cultures ordered for catheterized patients at an academic medical center. This intervention could be a component of CAUTI-reduction bundles.Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2017;38:486–488
