The healthcare industry has come a long way from paper charts to electronic health records (EHRs). While some healthcare providers have fully embraced the transition, others are still reluctant to make the move. But with the increasing use of technology in all aspects of our lives, is transitioning to EHRs really a smart move for healthcare organizations?
What are electronic health records?
An EHR is a digital version of a patient's paper chart.

From the widespread adoption of electronic health records for seamless data management to artificial intelligence-driven diagnostics and telehealth services, technology is empowering healthcare professionals to deliver better care and improve patient experiences.

Many healthcare providers have shifted to electronic health records (EHRs). Compared to paper-based systems, EHR systems offer greater information recency and accessibility to patient records. Before switching to EHR systems, your practice must first understand the following.

Digitization is significantly changing the way healthcare organizations deliver care and services to patients. In particular, the use of electronic health records (EHRs) is improving the accuracy and accessibility of patient information. Despite this, the adoption rate of EHRs is still low and meets resistance from many healthcare providers.

Is digital the way to go for the healthcare industry? Experts see no other way forward, as demonstrated by the popularity of electronic health records (EHRs). However, critics of this new recording process have pointed out major flaws that aren’t present in its traditional counterpart: paper-based recording.

Medical history, vaccine status, lab test results, and other medical records are libraries unto themselves. Checking such files without the aid of computers can be cumbersome. Thanks to EHR, hospital staff can access these information with ease.

EHR stands for “Electronic Health Record,” and a lot can go into getting your practice ready for one of these data-sharing, network-connected, enterprise-wide information systems.

As more medical practices adopt electronic health records (EHR), running out of digital storage is becoming an increasingly common issue. HIPAA-regulated practices don’t always have the option of cloud solutions, but virtualization is a secure and cost-effective alternative.

Computers have changed the world in so many obviously amazing ways that cataloguing them is hardly necessary. But what about the more mundane areas of business where technology has changed things, such as with assembly lines or recordkeeping systems? Digital technology has in fact totally transformed the latter, especially in the healthcare industry with something called EHR.
