HOW ARE EHR SYSTEMS BENEFICIAL TO BOTH PATIENTS AND HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS?

Derek Seymour • March 24, 2020

But how exactly is the EHR beneficial to both patients and healthcare providers?

EHR BENEFITS TO PATIENTS

The error margin in EHR is considerably lower compared to the traditional paper records.

The use of EHR significantly improves communication among doctors as they can easily access a patient’s medical history. Moreover, multiple doctors can access and follow up on a patient’s medical care wherever they are with ease.

Perhaps the main benefits of electronic health records are that they are fast, efficient and readily available to offer critical information during medical emergencies. In many cases, patients fail to articulate themselves making it difficult to access personal medical details and provide a timely and effective response. It is entirely reasonable to say that EHR systems simplify a doctor’s legwork so that he/she can provide medical attention straightaway, considering each second counts in critical cases.

EHR BENEFITS TO HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS

Medical errors associated with patients’ medical files such as loss, misplacement and transcription errors are some of the last things doctors ever want to hear. Solving this particular problem is probably one of the biggest benefits of electronic health records that medical providers enjoy.

Keeping track of patient’s filed medical information such as past and current procedures, health conditions, medication, allergic reactions etc. can be a daunting task to a doctor if the patient is under the care of multiple doctors. EHR makes it easy for doctors to share and discuss a patient’s medical information at the touch of a button.

Medical experts agree that the benefits of electronic health records, especially in emergency cases, have resulted in a significant increase in patients’ health-related safety.
