What role do EHR systems play in medical records?


Electronic health records (EHR) have changed the way healthcare professionals work over the last two decades. The primary method for documenting medical care is no longer paper. Healthcare organizations worldwide have replaced paper-based document management systems with electronic files management systems.


Electronic Health Records (EHRs): what do they do?

Generally, electronic health records (EHR) are digital records of a patient's medical history, which a particular provider maintains over time. An EHR may include demographics, progress notes, medications, problems, and other necessary information for that person's care under that particular provider. Patients' electronic health records contain their health history, diagnoses, medications, lab results, allergies, and immunization information in addition to their physical chart. With these, a user can get the treatment they need in a short amount of time without hassle. 



Uses of EHR and their importance.


  • Medical Records Are Convenient With EHRs- Due to the fact that EHRs provide a centralized, widely adopted information system, they make it possible for multiple organizations to share patient information securely throughout the system.

  • Mobile and accessible- Healthcare organizations use electronic health records as mobile platforms since they reduce the time required to access patient information, and record and update patient information. Having real-time access to information will make the physician's or nurse's job more efficient.

  • Increasing efficiency- Integrating EHRs into billing workflows can improve clinical workflow as well as administrative workflow. Productivity and revenue can be improved with the use of this software model.

  • Eliminate paperwork - A paper medical record can also be time-consuming and error-prone. Your workflow can be streamlined by using EHR to reduce the amount of paperwork in your office, thereby reducing the amount of storage space needed.

  • Provides support during emergencies- It can greatly improve patient care during clinic visits as well as in an emergency. The digital format of EHR systems can save the lives of patients who are incapable of communicating after catastrophic events.
