Why Use Electronic Health Records

• EMEDHIE

Reasons to welcome and embrace Electronic Health
Records

• Better Care

• When a patient's electronic record is easy to get
  access by more than one doctor, better health
  decisions can be made. But when doctors share
  records electronically, a new doctor only needs
  to ask the patient's name, birthdate and possibly
  another piece of identifying information in order
  to access a patient's complete health record.
  Diagnosis and treatment decisions might be
  altered based on the information found there,
  which is far more complete than what a patient
  might have written down on paper.

Better Efficiencies

• Since Electronic health records make information
  easy to use, the need for a patient to repeat
  expensive and often uncomfortable tests are
  greatly minimized. This not only saves times and
  makes it easier on the patient but reduces costs
  for everyone.

5
Organization and Standardization

• Paper files can easily be lost but electronic
  health records are always accessible. In
  addition, EHRs allow for better standardization
  throughout the health care system when it comes
  to record keeping because they provide a uniform
  way of filling out information that makes it
  easier for all doctors and nurses to find the
  information they need for each patient.

6
Keeping Up With Our Mobile Society

• If somebody is ill or injured when away from
  home, the importance of EHRs becomes enlarged.
  When someone moves across town or across the
  country, their electronic patient record can
  easily move with them. And if a doctor retires or
  moves, no longer do patients have to worry about
  tracking down records so long as their records
  are kept electronically.

7
Patient Access

• Some EHR systems will allow patients to use a
  secure site on the Internet to study about test
  results and other needed information from their
  medical record. This Patient Health Record can be
  access as a tool allowing patients themselves to
  document their own medical history and it can
  serve as a vehicle through which patients can
  communicate directly with their providers.
