Benefits of EHR:
- Improved quality of patient care
- Improved efficiency of practice work flow
- Access to patient records from any location (useful when a practice has multiple locations)
- Paperless charts and medical records
- High level of scalability
- Seamless integration with electronic prescriptions
- Automated detection of drug and allergy conflicts
- Easy access to lab information
- Clinical decision support tools
EHRs are the inevitable next step in the continued progress of healthcare that can strengthen the relationship between patients and clinicians. The data, and the timeliness and availability of it, will enable providers to make better decisions and provide better care.
EHR can improve patient care by:
- Reducing the incidence of medical error by improving the accuracy and clarity of medical records.
- Making the health information available, reducing duplication of tests, reducing delays in treatment, and allowing patients to be well informed in order to take better decisions.
- Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE)—one component of EHR—increases patient safety by listing instructions for physicians to follow when they prescribe drugs to patients.
