It is available online at http://perspectives.ahima.org/. The Spring 2012 issue of this journal includes an article titled “The Impact of Electronic Health Record Usage on Cancer Registry Systems in Alabama” authored by Shannon H. Houser, PhD, MPH, RHIA; Shannon Colquitt, RHIA; Kay Clements, MA, RHIA, CCS, CPC; and Susan Hart-Hester, PhD. This descriptive study revealed specific benefits and challenges associated with the use of electronic health records within cancer registry programs. It demonstrates how research can guide HIM professionals and cancer registry specialists in their efforts to optimize the use of EHR systems to improve the data workflow efficiency and data quality within the cancer registry system. Review Research Article: Requirements Answer the following questions based on your review of the research article “The Impact of Electronic Health Record Usage on Cancer Registry Systems in Alabama” in the Spring 2012 issue of Perspective in Health Information Management. What was the purpose of doing this study? What was the sampling method employed in this study? What is the limitation of this type of sampling method? What research method was employed in this study and what procedure was used to employ it with the participants? What types of statistical analyses were applied to the data collected in this study? The author states, “Despite the fact that 55 of the 67 counties in Alabama are designated as “rural,” nearly all study participants (97%) were from urban facilities, compared to only 3% from rural areas.” What factor in this study design do you think influenced (caused) this disparity in urban versus rural facility participants in the study? What specific types of patient care documentation issues that limit the usefulness of the EHR to the cancer registry program were identified by the participants in this study?
