Comparing the Efficiency and Accuracy of Health Information Exchange (HIE) to the Traditional Process of Medical History Gathering During Admission at the Pima County Adult Detention Complex (PCADC)

Class of 2014 Abstract / Specific Aims: Assess the change in efficiency and accuracy of healthcare in provider access to HIE for medication profiles at the PCADC. Methods: Adults detainees admitted from October 22, 2012 to July 31, 2013 were enrolled in this study. A completed Intake Medical Screening form with self-reported/correction facility staff verified medication list will (the old method) be compared to the medication list obtained by querying the medication HIE (the new method). Descriptive statistics will describe the patients. Statistical significance will be calculated using the McNemar chi-square test for comparing the proportions of omissions (medications and strengths) on the 765PI to the HIE with an a priori alpha of 0.05. Main Results: In progress. Conclusion: HIE has the potential to be a valuable tool for healthcare providers operating at an adult detention facility.
