TY - JOUR T1 - The results of automated data capture following introduction of electronic patient record (EPR) in a specialist bronchiectasis clinic JF - European Respiratory Journal JO - Eur Respir J VL - 40 IS - Suppl 56 SP - P1742 AU - Rizwan Ahmed AU - Ben Mercer AU - Ian Clifton AU - Miles Denton AU - Daniel Peckham Y1 - 2012/09/01 UR - http://erj.ersjournals.com/content/40/Suppl_56/P1742.abstract N2 - We have piloted EPR in a specialist bronchiectasis clinic in Leeds with an aim to combine e-consultation with high quality live coded data for audit, service development and clinical trials. We report a preliminary snapshot of 12 months data.Method The software used was a primary care web based solution from Egton Medical Information Systems. Key functions include demographics, alerts, coded history, e-consultations, automated letter generation and e-prescribing. New local, Read and snowmed codes were developed to ensure detail capture of previously un-coded information. Data was entered using templates.Results A total of 110 patients (68 F) had a diagnosis of bronchiectasis with a median(range) age of 62(17-87)yrs and median(range) %predicted FEV1 of 65%(12%-133%). Investigations carried out are shown in table 1 & underlying aetiology in table 2.View this table:Investigations carried outView this table:Underlying Aetiology of BronchiectasisSputum microbiology was positive for P. aeruginosa, A. fumigatus and Methicillin-resistant S. aureus in 38%, 21% & 9% of cases respectively.Conclusion Early experience has highlighted the successful implementation of EPR. The approach has been shown to work smoothly and provides a strong basis for audit and research for any chronic disease. ER -
