Communication across the inpatient and outpatient continuum is critical for quality patient care. 3 year old patient brought to the ER with head trauma; discharged and parents told to follow-up with pediatrician 26 year old patient discharged from the hospital’s maternity wing with her newborn son. Post-natal care for mother and newborn necessary 80 year old patient admitted to ICU with a broken hip; will need post-acute care services once discharged For each of the 3 patients described above, discuss how information will be captured and used in the inpatient and outpatient settings, i.e. across the continuum of care. Analyze the information needs of both the patient and the caregivers. Discuss how the information captured for these patients will be stored in the primary system, and possible solutions on sharing that information with a disparate information system. Identify a best practice for privacy and security of the information in this exchange of data. Next, discuss how the information captured for these patients will be stored. Be sure to evaluate the storage media, and finally, create a disaster recovery plan for the data (e.g. data redundancies, cloud computing, etc.). HIM
