Data elements for emergency department systems, release 1.0 (DEEDS): a summary report. DEEDS Writing Committee.

Variations in the way that data are entered in ED record systems impede the use of ED records for direct patient care and deter their reuse for many other legitimate purposes. To foster more uniform ED data, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National Center for Injury Prevention and Control is coordinating a public-private partnership that has developed recommended specifications for many observations, actions, instructions, conclusions, and identifiers that are entered in ED records. The partnership's initial product. Data Elements for Emergency Department Systems, Release 1.0 (DEEDS), is intended for use by individuals and organizations responsible for ED record systems. If the recommended specifications are widely adopted, then problems--such as data incompatibility and high costs of collecting, linking, and using data--can be substantially reduced. The collaborative effort that led to DEEDS, Release 1.0 sets a precedent for future review and revision of the initial recommendations.

On-line charging = increased revenue.

Although the new ED charge system is not perfect, it has resulted in improved charging for services delivered; this increase in correct charges has more than offset the resources to develop the entire tracking system project within 1 year. This is one example in which computerization paid for itself, which should help ED managers justify computerization of their departments. It is hoped that more effective charge systems will occur as a component of the computerized patient record in which the patient charge is calculated on the basis of preset formulas for the amount of resources utilized, thus eliminating subjectivity in charging. With the capture of all services rendered, evaluation of practice patterns and outcomes would allow the ED staff to identify effective treatment regimens. Hopefully, unnecessary tests or treatments can be eliminated to promote a decrease in resource utilization and costs without compromising quality patient care.

Computers: getting started.

Because there is not much written about computer application in the emergency department you will frequently find yourself reading about applications in other areas. It is up to you to apply this information in the emergency setting. This makes you pioneers, in search of a new and better tomorrow. Our future is not yet written. It is waiting on you and your creative ideas to keep the wagon rolling. Don't let the new territory of informatics, hardware hardships, and foreign computer languages get you down. Accept informatics as just another challenge, like the many we have faced successfully in the past. Use these resources and your expertise in emergency nursing to create innovative informatic systems.
