A Guide to EHRs and Why They Are Important

Featured, Health Facts

Healthcare professionals are mostly aware of what electronic health records (EHR) are and their importance, but only professional EHR informaticists and medical coders really know how to create, organize and use them. However, insurance agents and patient parties do require a bit more info on the subject, as electronic health records can feel unnecessary and too complicated for them. Staying away from the more complex inner workings of medical coding, we will now briefly go over some of the questions that often confuse people outside the healthcare industry. What is EHR? Electronic health records are exactly what the name itself implies they are; electronic, aka digital versions of a patient’s health records. They are paperless, cloud-synced, encrypted versions of the patient files that we know and understand, but electronic health records have numerous benefits over their traditional counterparts, which have made their predecessors almost defunct today. Are EHR and EMR Records the Same? Electronic health records are abbreviated as EHR, and EMR stands for electronic medical records, so it is natural to be confused since they should theoretically mean the same thing. Mostly that would be the right assumption, but there are a few important differences to be noted. The […]

Shoulder Rehab Exercises: Improve Strength and Function

Diseases and Conditions, Featured

There are those several body parts that prevent us from doing anything we are supposed to when they hurt. Even though they may not be severe, they are annoying enough and appear repeatedly, making them tough to deal with and work through. One such pain is shoulder pain. Since the shoulder joint basically connects the arm to the torso, when it hurts it is very difficult to use the entire arm. Shoulder pain can be so prohibitive to your daily routine that you are rendered useless with the usual chores and work like typing or writing. Really, no one is immune to a twang of discomfort every now and then, but this can be more than a more uncomfortable experience. Whether you are a professional athlete who is prone to an occasional injury in the name of competition, an exercise enthusiast who does several mid-intensity training sessions a week, or just noticing a few periods of pain whilst you are working away at your desk, as usual, the best thing you can do to prevent and treat shoulder pain is stretching exercises. Shoulder rehab exercises are going to work for you, trust us, but only if you do them correctly. […]

What’s the Best Way to Take CBD?

Featured

Taking CBD is reputed to have almost miraculous powers in the world of wellness. There’s evidence that it can work as a painkiller, that it can help to reduce stress, signs of aging, anxiety and depression and that it can promote deep and healthy sleep as well as generate a sense of wellness. While we should regard some of the more dramatic claims with appropriate scepticism, Getting the most out of CBD involves understanding both what it can do for you, and what the condition you are trying to treat really need, so today we’re informing you so you can make the best decisions. Acute Conditions vs Chronic Most health conditions can be sorted into one of two types: acute and chronic. Chronic conditions are ongoing, they last for long periods of time, or indefinitely, whereas acute conditions are brief, concentrated spikes of discomfort or distress. Fortunately, chronic conditions tend not to be as intense as acute ones, but they shouldn’t be written off: they can be the cause of severe pain and discomfort, and dramatically curtail a person’s actions and independence. A chronic condition is no mere irritant. Using CBD for Acute Issues One of the ways that CBD […]

Anti aging

The search for the fountain of youth is ongoing. Consumers prefer non-invasive procedures that are fast-acting, minimally invasive and affordable. Results count. 1. Dermal Fillers Dermal fillers are as popular as ever, used to fill in folds under the skin. There are synthetic and natural fillers. One of the reasons these treatments are so popular is because they provide immediate results, making wrinkles and fine lines a thing of the past. While collagen was once used as the “Go-To” dermal filler of choice, hyaluronic acid has gained in popularity since it is believed that there may be permanent anti-aging results from the resulting collagen growth associated with it. Choice reports that even though synthetic fillers are applauded as longer lasting, there have been some problems with it coagulating under the skin and forming lumps that have to be removed surgically. 2. Stem Cell Therapy Stem cell therapy has shown promising results in the fight against aging. When you age, the number of stem cells decreases. Based on a logical assumption that there is a connection between the number of stem cells present in your body and signs of aging, a study was conducted at the University of Miami Miller School […]
