          Abstract

          Hintergrund

          Die Einführung einer elektronischen Patientenakte (ePA) bzw. eines Notfalldatensatzes (NFD) ist ebenso wie die Reform der Notfallversorgung in Deutschland derzeit immer wieder Teil politischer Diskussionen. Derzeit existieren in Deutschland keine Daten zum Nutzen einer solchen ePA bzw. NFD für die Notaufnahmen. Ziel dieser Studie war es herauszufinden, ob mitgebrachte Vorbefunde Einfluss auf Diagnostik- und Therapieentscheidungen in der Notaufnahme haben.

          Methodik

          Zur Beantwortung der Frage wurde eine deskriptive Beobachtungsstudie in einer interdisziplinären Notaufnahme durchgeführt mit einer Studienpopulation von n = 96.

          Ergebnisse

          Hinsichtlich vorhandener Vorbefunde konnten bei 55 Patienten (59 %) weder ein Arztbrief noch eine Medikamentenliste gefunden werden. Jedoch konnten bei 48 % der Patienten, die über die Notaufnahme stationär aufgenommen wurden, Ergänzungen der Anamnese nachgewiesen werden.

          Bei 8 (9 %) Patienten zeigte sich, dass Therapie- und/oder Diagnostikentscheidungen hätten diskutiert bzw. geändert werden müssen, falls die ergänzten anamnestischen Informationen in der Notaufnahme vorgelegen hätten. Die Dauer der Anamnese zeigte sich ebenfalls verlängert bei fehlenden Vorbefunden seitens des Patienten (Mittelwert: 10–15 min; Standardabweichung: ±<5 min) im Gegensatz zu den Patienten mit Vorbefunden (Mittelwert: 5–10 min; Standardabweichung: ±<5 min).

          Diskussion

          Mithilfe von ePA und NFD könnten Therapie- und Diagnostikentscheidungen sicherer gestellt werden. Beim Fehlen von Vorbefunden ist die Anamnesedauer in Notaufnahmen deutlich verlängert, was sich durch die Einführung einer ePA bzw. eines NFD reduzieren ließe.

          Background

          The introduction of an electronic health record (EHR) or an emergency care data set (ECDS), as well as reforms in emergency medical care, is currently part of political debate in Germany. Currently, no data are available of how emergency departments could benefit from an ePA or NFD in Germany. The aim of this study was to determine if a patient’s medical history has an influence on diagnostic and therapeutic decisions in the emergency department.

          Methodology

          To answer this question, a descriptive observational study was conducted in an interdisciplinary emergency department with a study population of n = 96.

          Results

          For 55 patients (59%) neither a doctor’s letter nor a drug list was found. However, in 48% of the patients who were admitted to the hospital via the emergency department, additions to the anamnesis record could be identified. Eight (9%) patients showed that therapy and/or diagnostic decisions should have been discussed or changed if the supplemented anamnestic information had been available in the emergency room. In addition, the study revealed that the duration of the anamnesis was prolonged in case of missing medical history (mean: 10–15 min, standard deviation: ±<5 min). In contrast to the patients with a medical history (mean: 5–10 min, standard deviation: ±<5 min).

          Conclusion

          Based on the data stored in EHR and ECDS, therapy and diagnostic decisions could be made more reliably. In the absence of a medical history, the time required for medical history taking in emergency departments is significantly longer, which could be reduced by introducing EHR or ECDS.

          Prevalence of information gaps in the emergency department and the effect on patient outcomes.

          Information gaps occur when previously collected information is unavailable to a physician who is currently treating a patient. In this study we measured the prevalence of physician-reported information gaps for patients presenting to an emergency department at a teaching hospital. For 1002 visits to the emergency department made by 983 patients, we recorded all information gaps identified by the emergency physician immediately after the patient was assessed. When an information gap was present, the physician was asked to identify the required information, why it was required and how important it was to the patient's care. We reviewed the patient charts to measure severity of illness and to determine whether the patient was referred to the emergency department by a community physician. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to determine whether information gaps were associated with length of stay in the emergency department. At least 1 information gap was identified in 323 (32.2%) of the 1002 visits (95% confidence interval 29.4%-35.2%). Information gaps were associated with severity of illness, being significantly more common in patients who had serious chronic illnesses, those who arrived by ambulance, those who had visited the emergency department or had been in hospital recently, patients in monitored areas in the emergency department and older patients. Information gaps most commonly comprised medical history (58%) and laboratory test results (23.3%) and were felt to be essential to patient care in 47.8% of the cases. The presence of information gaps was not associated with admission to hospital. After adjusting for important confounders, including patient sex, previous hospital admissions, diagnosis and severity of illness, we found that stays in the emergency department were 1.2 hours longer on average for patients with an information gap than for those without one. Information gaps were present in almost one-third of the visits to our emergency department. They were more common in sicker patients and were independently associated with a prolonged stay in the emergency department.
