WHY YOUR PRACTICE NEEDS EHR SOFTWARE

Derek Seymour • March 10, 2020

Electronic health records, or EHR, allow physicians and medical offices to digitally store patient medical charts. There are many reasons why you should use EHR in your practice. EHR software simplifies patient records by reducing the need for paper files. Here are a few reasons why your practice needs EHR software.

ACCESS PATIENT RECORDS MORE EASILY

Electronic health records allow you to store all patient records in one place. Spend more time with patients and less time combing through paper records to find the correct file. EHR software takes up less physical space in an office, and patient files can contain more information than a limited paper chart.

VIEW MORE DATA

EHR software allows users to see much more than a patient’s medical chart. In addition to the patient’s medical history, electronic health records can show everything from medications and treatment plans to laboratory results. EHR software allows doctors to share information with other health providers too.

STREAMLINED SERVICES

Since electronic health records allow for secure communication between different physicians and offices, appointments can go much more smoothly. Streamlining services reduces the chance of excessive medical testing and unnecessary questions. Patients can go from provider to provider without having to repeat their entire medical history.

BETTER CARE

EHR software will also result in better care for the patient. Electronic health records have more detailed information than paper charts, so the provider can better prepare for an appointment. This cuts out time spent during appointments updating records.

PATIENT PORTALS

Patient portals are another function of EHR software. A patient portal allows patients to access their own medical records online. Patients can access their laboratory results, schedule appointments and send secure messages. This new form of communication allows patients to be more proactive about their health and their care.

LEARN MORE

EHR software is the future of medicine. It allows you to communicate with patients and other medical providers. Streamline patient record keeping and appointments with electronic health records. Make sure your practice is up to date and schedule a consultation with EHR1 for more information.
