Alzheimer's/Dementia Hospitalization Wristband Project
Alzheimer's/Dementia Hospitalization Wristband: The wristband project does several things:
Upon admission, patients with a prior diagnosis have a Purple Angel affixed to their standard issue hospital wristband for identification purposes.
Purple Angel is placed on their door so that anyone entering knows they should approach with the patient’s special needs in mind.

Purple Angel is placed on their door so that anyone entering knows they should approach with the patient’s special needs in mind.
- Use of “sitters” will become standard practice, allowing families to take much needed breaks without worrying that their loved one will be left alone.
- A dementia screening will be added to the admission process in hopes of identifying cognitive impairment even if there is no prior diagnosis.

Quick Illustrated Video Differentiating EHR from EMR
shared by Matthew Smith on Wed, Jan 15, 2014 @ 01:28 PM
previous post on the differences between EMR (Electronic Medical Records) and EHR (Electronic Health Records) really resonated with our readers.
Thank you to several HD Insights blog readers for sending along this concise, illustrated video detailing the differences between an EMR and an EHR. We felt that this video is too good not to share with everyone.
Matthew Smith says Feel free to forward this post (and our previous post) as a simple explanation when someone in your department asks what the difference is between these two terms.

What’s in a word? Or, even one letter of an acronym?
Some people use the terms “electronic medical record” and “electronic health record” (or “EMR” and “EHR”) interchangeably. But at the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC), you’ll notice they use electronic health record or EHR almost exclusively. While it may seem a little picky at first, the difference between the two terms is actually quite significant.The EMR term came along first, and indeed, early EMRs were “medical.” They were for use by clinicians mostly for diagnosis and treatment.
In contrast, “health” relates to “The condition of being sound in body, mind, or spirit; especially…freedom from physical disease or pain…the general condition of the body.” The word “health” covers a lot more territory than the word “medical.” And EHRs go a lot further than EMRs.
