Headspace: Electronic Health Records

This assignment examines Headspace's implementation of an electronic health record (EHR) system. It outlines the problems associated with traditional manual record-keeping, highlighting issues like information loss and inefficient sharing. The report then explores the capabilities of Headspace's EHR, focusing on its potential to enhance patient care through secure data storage, online access, and streamlined communication between healthcare providers. Finally, it discusses the benefits of this system, including increased efficiency, reduced healthcare costs, and improved patient outcomes.

Introduction
With the development of technology, the company like Headspace is working on the different
sectors for the advancement where the IT specialists are there for the proper handling of the
health along with incorporating the different information technology. The factors are determined
through the use of the health community development and incorporating all the processes which
relate to the health practices. (Denaxas et al., 2017). The Headspace company works on the
improvement of the health care services with the product set on the “my health record” that tends
to incorporate the technology.
Problems
With the development of the technology, the doctors have been allowed to ask the patient about
their medical history with the focus on whether the patient will visit more than one doctor.
Hence, the information is stabilised through diagnosis of how the knowledge is detected with
storing information on the files. The manual storage of the system has resulted in the loss of any
type of information which regards to the patient and interfered patterns which works with the
smoother sharing of information. The system also works on the security and assurance of the
development of “my health record” which aims to identify how the storage of the data of patients
in NSW will help in easy analysis and working over the patient’s treatment. The patient is free to
decide about the information access with control on viewing the information so that it does not
get leaked. The access is based on through assuring confidentiality and is restricted from sharing
till there is approval from the person. (Diney et al., 2016).

Capabilities
This includes the forms where the project will focus on storing the information of the patient
when the patient can visit the doctor or the healthcare anytime. Through this, the information
would also include the choice of how the data is being fed in the system. The system tends to
restrict the people with ensuring the confidentiality of the information that is stored along with
sharing all the information that is on the system with the opposition to the manual system. The
information also tends to cover about the system enhancement and the security that would allow
the patients to restrict the data and have a control on what is to be shown to the other people. The
information could easily be accessed through the internet, changed and accessed as and when
needed. (Frazier, 2017). The system would include the prescription with reducing the admissions
in hospital. This way only the urgent cases could be treated at effective costs.
Benefits
The increased efficiency where the major focus is on how to work with the system development
and handling the health online records. With this, the application of maintaining the health
records will help in saving the time as the doctor can have a case study before meeting the
patient. The doctor can easily access the system and profile for the search of patient’s problems.
This would also allow the quick and effective sharing of information of the patents. The manual
system is found to be cumbersome with the check on how much time is needed with health
records allowing quick and efficient sharing of information. The caregiver also need the
information to be keyed in with other different visits. Through this, there is a possibility to
increase the easiness of the system and then provide complete security and restrictions to the
patient, doctor, specialists and other healthcare givers. Along with this, there is be no need to
travel through long distances if the internet enabled activities could be performed where the

doctor can tell simple solutions of which medicine to take and how many days of rests is needed
to be cured. (Zhou et al., 2016).
Conclusion
Over the years, there are circumstances for the healthcare giver to work on the prescriptions of
hospitalisation. The system also works on reducing the cost of healthcare service and working on
the unsustainability in future. For this, there is a need to address the problems and reduce the
costs for easy and manageable services. Headspace is one of the company that is coming forward
by covering thousands of miles to handle the tests and then reduce the issues about handling the
information form of their medical history.
