Include information from at least 4 scholarly articles and one other reputable source . Organize your review into themes (subtopics) and incorporate information from the literature into each theme. Avoid discussing the articles one at a time. Cite all of the articles using both in-text citations and an entry on a references page. Before you begin, review the articles below and examine the organization of the literature review sections. Keep in mind, these are published articles; your literature review section will be shorter than the examples. .bryantstratton.edu/bbcswebdav/pid-385047-dt-content-rid-4140675_1/xid-4140675_1″>What Deficits in Sexual and Reproductive Health Knowledge Exist among Women with Cystic Fibrosis? .bryantstratton.edu/bbcswebdav/pid-385047-dt-content-rid-4140675_1/xid-4140675_1″>A Systematic Review .bryantstratton.edu/bbcswebdav/pid-385047-dt-content-rid-4140674_1/xid-4140674_1″>Bereavement and Mental Health after Sudden and Violent Losses: A Review *** Submit the results section and part 1 of the discussionsection for instructor feedback.

Health Care Study Question: How has usage of Electronic Health Record systems impacted quality of care, physician productivity, and hospital efficiency? Abstract: Objectives To determine whether usage of electronic health record systems such as clinical decision support (CDS) is associated with improved quality indicators. To examine the impact of the degree of electronic health record (EHR) use and delegation of EHR tasks on clinician productivity. To determine the impact of health information technology (HIT) adoption and hospital-physician integration on hospital efficiency. Study Design We use the National Hospital Medical Care Surveys to perform logistic regression to analyze adult primary care visits for the association between the use of CDS (problem lists, preventive care reminders, lab results, lab range notifications, and drug-drug interaction warnings) and quality measures (blood pressure control, cancer screening, health education, influenza vaccination, and visits related to adverse drug events). We examine EHR use in primary care practices that implement a web-based EHR from Athena health (n = 42) over 3 years (695 practice-month observations). Practices are predominantly small and spread throughout the country. Data is from Athena health practice management system and EHR task logs. Using data from the American Hospital Association’s (AHA) annual survey, the AHA IT survey, supplemented by the CMS Case Mix Index, and the US Census Bureau’s small area income and poverty estimates; we examine how the adoption of HIT and employment of physicians affected hospital efficiency and whether they were substitutes or complements.
