Implementation

What are EHRs >

One of the key features of an EHR is that it can be created, managed, and consulted by authorized providers and staff across more than one health care organization. A single EHR can bring together information from current and past doctors, emergency facilities, school and workplace clinics, pharmacies, laboratories, and medical imaging facilities

What is an EMR >

An EMR contains the standard medical and clinical data gathered in one provider’s office. Electronic health records (EHRs) go beyond the data collected in the provider’s office and include a more comprehensive patient history

Why Implement EHRs >

Accurate and complete information about a patient’s health
The ability to quickly provide care
The ability to better coordinate the care they give
Share information with patients and their family caregivers

Improved Patient Care >

Reliable access to complete patient health information is essential for safe and effective care. EHRs place accurate and complete information about patients’ health and medical history at providers’ fingertips. With EHRs, providers can give the best possible care, at the point of care. This can lead to a better patient experience and, most importantly, better patient outcomes

Improved Care Coordination >

Electronic health record (EHR) systems can decrease the fragmentation of care by improving care coordination. EHRs have the potential to integrate and organize patient health information and facilitate its instant distribution among all authorized providers involved in a patient’s care. >

Increased Patient Participation >

Providers and patients who share access to electronic health information can collaborate in informed decision making. Patient participation is especially important in managing and treating chronic conditions such as asthma, diabetes, and obesity >

Patient & Family Benefits >

Health IT can make your interactions with the health care system more convenient, more reliable, and less time consuming. >

On a basic level, an EHR provides a digitized version of the “paper chart” you often see doctors, nurses, and others using. But when an EHR is connected to all of your health care providers (and often, to you as a patient), it can offer so much more: >

EHRs reduce your paperwork.
EHRs get your information accurately into the hands of people who need it.
EHRs help your doctors coordinate your care and protect your safety.
EHRs help your doctors coordinate your care and protect your safety.
EHRs reduce unnecessary tests and procedures.
EHRs give you direct access to your health records

Diagnostics & Patient Outcomes

When health care providers have access to complete and accurate information, patients receive better medical care. Electronic health records (EHRs) can improve the ability to diagnose diseases and reduce—even prevent—medical errors, improving patient outcomes >

Efficiency & Cost Savings >

79% of providers report that with an EHR, their practice functions more efficiently
82% report that sending prescriptions electronically (e-prescribing) saves time
68% of providers see their EHR as an asset with recruiting physicians
75% receive lab results faster
70% report enhances in data confidentiality

National Health Benefits >

Just as the revolution in information technology has already changed the way in which organizations like banks, supermarkets, and even government services understand the people they serve, the revolution in health information technology (health IT) will change the way we address the health of our communities and our nation >
