EMR and Health care communication
The need to increase the use of EMR records/systems in healthcare has been felt for
sometime now.
Information is everything, everybody realizes that.
The amount of
communication that takes place in the new information world is possible because of
Information technology, and it is apparent that the adoption of the same is being felt across
everywhere, and that includes the medical and health care systems.
The challenges faced by healthcare systems are surely increasing, the major of them
include:
• Preventing errors when possible
• Improving communication across various systems
• Reducing the costs associated
Well, at least the literature says that the use of EMR systems have dramatically improved
the communication and patient safety without increasing the costs.
The communication in
this context means that the entire records of the patient’s entire medical history are
available in one central database that can be retrieved any time upon request.
