Ambulatory Care System
Jose Noel Asuncion
What are your thoughts on these pictures?
Ambulatory (a.k.a. Outpatient) Care
As the name suggests, it is a care given to patients who are
neither bedridden nor admitted to a hospital or any other
health institution. It is provided in settings such as:
• Offices of physicians and other health care professionals
• Hospital outpatient departments
• Ambulatory surgical centers
• Specialty clinics or centers, e.g., dialysis or infusion
• Urgent care clinics
Who works in Ambulatory Care?
• Doctors, physical therapists, nurses, medical techs, surgical
techs, and medical administration staff can all be found in
various ambulatory care settings.
• Nurses can specialize to become Ambulatory Care Nurse
(ACN)
Ambulatory Care System
• Provides automated processing of data and information
such as allergies and medical alerts, patients accounting
system such as charging, billing, discounts and concessions,
diagnostics imaging treatments, and etc.
• With this system, the patient waiting time is optimized
through effective queue management.
• It involves one-time registration required per visit. It also
facilitates the management of doctors schedule.
Ambulatory Care System (cont.)
• Ambulatory care systems designed to:
Accumulate Store Manipulate Retrieve
...information for planning, organizing, directing, and
controlling administrative and clinical activities associated with
the provision and use of ambulatory care services and
facilities.
Ambulatory Care System (cont.)
Applications needed in the ambulatory environment:
• Registration
• Billing
• Accounts Receivable
• Accounts Payable
• Patient and Staff Scheduling
• Managed Care Functionality
The BENEFIT…
• Real-time and easy access to patient’s medical records by healthcare
providers.
• Improved workflow, which allows more time for comprehensive
patient counseling and review.
• Reduced errors with the availability of various automation engines –
drug interaction engine; medical alert engine; patient billing engine,
etc.
• Automated and integrated back-end process such as pharmacy,
billing, purchasing, inventory management, etc.
The BENEFIT…(cont.)

Outpatient= Inpatient – overnight stay,
.: Less charges, more time saved and timely billing!
The CONCERN…
• Increased Accountability
• Need for Continuous and Documented Service Improvements
• Pressures to Control Utilization
• Protection of Confidential Information
• Effective Reimbursement of Services
• Accessibility and security of data and information
• Integration and support to the other system
Role of Nurse Using Informatics in
Ambulatory Care
• The very basic objective of the automated ambulatory care
information system is to easily integrate the data to the other
data and easily translate these data into information.
• The effective transformation of data can be integrated to the
other processes to transform it into knowledge.
• The ambulatory care nurse and other health care provider
should be capable enough to implement the process
effectively.

TODAY'S
TOPICS
 TELEHEALTH
Telehealth is the use of digital information and communication technologies, such as
computers and mobile devices, to access health care services remotely and manage your
health care. These may be technologies you use from home or that your doctor uses to
improve or support health care services.
 • Lab test or x-ray results

• Mental health treatment, including online therapy,

counseling, and medication management

• Recurring conditions like migraines or urinary tract

infections

• Prescription management Types of care

recieved in
• Urgent care issues like colds, coughs, and stomach aches

• Post-surgical follow-up
• Treatment and follow-up appointments for attention
deficit disorder (ADD) and attention deficit
Telehealth
hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)

• Physical therapy and occupational therapy

 Your primary care clinic may have an online patient portal. These portals
PATIENT PORTALoffer an alternative to email, which is a generally insecure means to
communicate private medical information. A portal provides a more
secure online tool to do the following:

• Communicate with your doctor or a nurse.

• Request prescription refills.
• Review test results and summaries of previous visits.
• Schedule appointments or request appointment reminders.
• If your doctor is in a large health care system, the portal also may
provide a single point of communication for any specialists you may
see.
PERSONAL
An electronic personal health record system — often called a
HEALTH PHR system — is a collection of information about your health

RECORDS that you control and maintain. A PHR app is accessible to you
anytime via a web-enabled device, such as your computer,
laptop, tablet or smartphone.

In an emergency, a personal health record can quickly give

emergency personnel vital information, such as current
diagnoses, medications, drug allergies and your doctor's contact
information.
PERSONAL
HEALTH APPS A multitude of apps has been created to help consumers better
organize their medical information in one secure place. These
digital tools may help you:

• Store personal health information.

• Record vital signs.
• Calculate and track caloric intake.
• Schedule reminders for taking medicine.
• Record physical activity, such as your daily step count.
DISADVANTAGES • If your virtual visit is with someone who is not your regular
AND LIMITATIONS provider, he or she may not have all of your medical history
• After a virtual visit, it may be up to you to coordinate your
OF TELEHEALTH
care with your regular provider
• In some cases, the provider may not be able to make the
right diagnosis without examining you in person. Or your
provider may need you to come in for a lab test.
• There may be problems with the technology, for example, if
you lose the connection, there is a problem with the
software, etc.
• Some insurance companies may not cover telehealth visits
 • While telehealth has the potential for better-coordinated
DISADVANTAGES
care, it also runs the risk of fragmenting health care.
AND LIMITATIONS Fragmented care may lead to gaps in care, overuse of

OF TELEHEALTH medical care, inappropriate use of medications, or

unnecessary or overlapping care.
• The potential benefits of telehealth services may be limited
by other factors, such as the ability to pay for them.
Insurance reimbursement for telehealth still varies by state
and type of insurance. Also, some people who would benefit
most from improved access to care may be limited because
of regional internet availability or the cost of mobile devices.
