Name at least Five (5) common information in the CDR and explain the importance of
the information in the smooth flow of procedures inside the hospital.
a. Patient demographics- enables the patient to be classified and categorized
into categories for statistical analysis purposes. These are information that is
being collected during the registration process on patient demographic data
such as age, date of birth, gender, location, and ethnicity, which becomes a
part of the patient’s medical record. Moreover, it helps the care team
communicate effectively with patients and improve their experience which is
less hassle, as well as understand a patient’s culture, which may affect their
health.
b. Patient’s primary care provide- a physician who is chosen by or assigned to
a patient and both provides primary care and acts as a gatekeeper to control
access to other medical services. They help the patient navigate to
good health, so to prevent risk disease, and manage chronic disease care for
a longer and a better quality of life.
c. Immunizations- is a process by which an individual becomes immune or
resistant to an infectious disease, normally through vaccine administration.
Immunizations can be administered by jet injection. Immunizing patients
protect them against preventable illnesses that may be acquired in the hospital
or the community following discharge.
d. Procedure- A laboratory test is a procedure in which a health care provider
takes a sample of your blood, urine, other bodily fluid, or body tissue to obtain
information about your health. Some laboratory tests are utilized to help
diagnose, screen, or monitor a specific disease or condition. Other tests
provide more general information about your organs and body systems.
Procedures help guide diagnosis and treatment decisions.
e. Social History- The portion of the medical history addressing familial,
occupational, and recreational aspects of these patient's personal life that
have the potential to be clinically significant. Social history can help provide
essential early clues to the presence of disease, guide physical exam and test-
ordering strategies, and facilitate the provision of cost-effective, evidence-
based care.
