Question

Section 9.1 of your text detailed the numerous objectives an EHR must meet to satisfy meaningful use requirements. Read the scenario below, and decide which of the 17 listed objectives are met in this case. Check all objectives that apply. Tori is a 16-year-old female who had an appointment with Dr. Ingram to discuss a sore knee she got while playing volleyball at school. While checking in, Tori mentioned to the receptionist that her family had recently moved, and would the receptionist please update her record? The receptionist agreed and made the edit. During her visit, the medical assistant took Tori’s blood pressure and temperature, and asked her whether she was allergic to any prescription medication. She also asked about Tori’s exercise habits and social behaviors. Tori told the MA that she was a regular exerciser, did not smoke or drink, and liked to hang out with friends after volleyball practice. The MA documented this information in Tori’s EHR, and then Dr. Ingram came in to examine Tori’s knee. After evaluating the injury, Dr. Ingram ordered a round of Celebrex, which Tori could pick up at her local pharmacy after the visit, and an X-ray to rule out an ACL tear. Dr. Ingram updated Tori’s record to alert the radiology department at County Hospital that she would be coming in for the scans. As she checked out, the receptionist handed Tori a printout of her visit summary, detailing the doctor’s findings, test orders, and prescription information so she could keep it for her records. Additionally, Tori received an email noting that her Patient Portal chart information had been updated in case she wanted to log in and check it. Tori thanked the receptionist and headed out to pick up her prescription.
