SUMMARY: SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00087 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 I. Abstract This collection of information includes standard use of Electronic Health Record System (EHRS) under NASA 10 HIMS regulations at all NASA Occupational Health (OH) clinics by authorized healthcare providers assigned to, employed by, contracted to, or under partnership agreement with NASA facilities. This EHRS is used in support of the NASA Occupational Health Program to generate medical records of medical care, diagnosis, treatment, surveillance examinations (e.g., flight certification, special purpose and health maintenance), and exposure records (e.g., hazardous materials and ionizing radiation). Management and utilization of the EHRS at NASA clinics is carried out to implement the necessary supportive clinical services for each visit to the OH clinics. The OH clinics create, maintain and securely archive digital medical records and physical examination records of on (1) NASA civil service employees and applicants; (2) other Agency civil service and military employees working at NASA; (3) active or retired astronauts and active astronaut family members; (4) International Space Partner personnel, their families, or other space flight personnel on temporary or extended duty at NASA; (5) onsite contractor personnel who receive job-related examinations under the NASA Occupational Health Program, have work-related mishaps or accidents, or visit clinics for emergency or first-aid treatment; and (6) visitors to NASA Centers who use clinics for emergency or first-aid treatment or who apply for use of NASA facilities. The legal medical record is the documentation of health care services provided to an individual; it is used for clinical decision making, following accurate recording of observations, actions and analysis of diagnostic tests. The legal medical record in this instance is digital recorded data collected and used for providing healthcare at the NASA OH clinics. Additionally, the medical record is used as a tool for evaluating the adequacy, appropriateness and quality of care. Such records contain standard clinical information resulting from physical examinations, laboratory and other relevant diagnostic tests, and medical history surveys; screening examination results; immunization records; administration of medications prescribed by private/personal or NASA physicians; consultation records; and hazardous exposure as well as other health hazard/abatement data.
