What is an Electronic Health Record (EHR)?

Electronic health record (EHRs) systems are now mainstays in the healthcare industry as the technology continues to evolve. Already 90% of hospitals use EHRs to improve the quality of patient care. Electronic health systems ensure better efficiencies and higher performance for medical staff. So, you can better support patient care and risk assessment.  

What Are Electronic Health Record Systems? 

Electronic healthcare record (EHRs) systems are part of a digital record. So, you can store the doctor's notes (including allergy information, diagnoses, laboratory, treatment records, and test results) for each patient. The biggest value of an EHR is that medical staff can quickly access key health information all in one place and share it with other healthcare providers that are part of the patient's care team. Here's what a good EHR includes: 

As you plan for implementing electronic health records, develop a project plan, design the data flows, customize the system, train, and then test. With so much at stake, you need the training and support from Team TempDev. Our team offers the comprehensive support services and technical know-how you need.

What is the Focus of EHR Systems?

Electronic health records support the workflow of your medical staff and physicians. With EHR systems, you and your team are more productive and efficient as you manage everyday tasks like billing, booking appointments, and entering clinical data. Studies show that as you integrate your services with electronic health records, you're able to better engage with your patients and, thus, ensure patient satisfaction. 

On the admin side of your EHR implementation, you're able to automate simple tasks, so your team spends less time with document management, and shuffling patient records. With electronic health records, your handle less paperwork, so you print out fewer paper forms. You can also better manage your space and storage considerations with a more environmentally friendly, sustainable model for your team and organization.   

Why Is Your Electronic Health Record (EHR) System Important?

The implementation of electronic health records (EHR) can be a complicated process, with challenges along the way. Any time you implement an EHR system, consider workflow issues but also look at how you will manage the costs while keeping your records secure and private. The EHR system offers seamless functionality that supports the needs of your team and your patients.

Your patients can access their health records 24/7, so they can easily share their treatment history with other medical professionals, hospitals, and clinics. Beyond ease of access to patient data, you can more easily offer clinical decision making tools, educational materials and resources specifically related to your patients' ongoing medical conditions. Patients can request electronic prescriptions and even ask medical questions without the phone tag exercise.

Our goal is to help you get the most out of your EHR systems, which will continue to save you time and money for years to come. You'll see just how important an EHR system is to your growth and success.
