The activity
This activity is a detailed case study review, or audit, of a chart and its contents. The activity provides an overview of
documentation review in an electronic health record, and an introduction to how the diagnosis is supported through
documentation, the patient’s progress, clinical findings, and discharge status.
After launching and thoroughly reviewing each tab in the EHR of Camille Wall, answer the questions below.
Questions
1. List the patient’s name and social security number (SSN).
3. What is the patient’s address, employment information, and listed insurance plan name? Be sure to review all
areas of the patient’s EHR when searching for this information, including the patient’s notes documented on the
Notes tab.
The address for the patient is 5847 Shoreview Dr Madison, WI 53532. The health plan
listed is Tricare Select and the patient is employed.
4. List any documented problems, along with the status and immediacy of each.
6. List the patient’s medication orders and their dose, route, and frequency.
8. Does the patient have any Advance Directives documented in her EHR? If so, what are they?
9. List the patient’s most recent set of vital signs, including temperature, pulse, respiration, blood pressure, pulse
oximetry, and pain.
10. List the patient’s most recent lab values for HGB (hemoglobin), WBC (white blood cells) and Glucose found
under the Labs tab.
11. Was a consult order entered for the patient? If so, what type of consult was ordered? Who completed the
patient’s Admission Note?
Problems identified –
13. Who is listed as the physician who authored the patient’s Discharge Summary note? When is the patient due for
a follow-up visit?
14. What discrepancy exists between what is documented in the Discharge Summary note as the first listed
admission diagnosis versus what is documented under the Problems tab of the chart as the first listed admitting
diagnosis?
In the problem its noted as Osteoarthrosis and in the discharge, it’s noted as Degenerative Joint
disease.
15. Do you think this could cause confusion amongst the health care team? How could that be avoided?
Even though the terms are one in the same for documenting purposes I think the same
term needs to be used throughout the patient’s entire process from admission to
discharge. It could potentially cause confusion as degenerative joint disease I believe
means more than one thing. They need to be specific especially for billing purposes.
