Doctors are required to store patient information and medical history for several years. The costs for the hiring of the actual physical space required to store such records and the personnel to manage the rapidly growing paper medical records can be extraordinary. EMR is the way to go for doctors in need of a better way to cut down overhead costs and streamline workflow. Secondly, they are very convenient. Sometimes medical records may be required in different hospitals by different doctors. EMR enables doctors have the convenience of having instant access to medical records from a number of hospitals at any given moment. Studies have revealed that EMR can increase efficiency and save time. Thirdly, EMR helps improve the accuracy and quality of information: by reducing the risk of finding illegible handwritten patient information. Standardized forms help reduce cases of missing information. The computers are able to look for missing information and alert you if any missing information has been recognized. They have made work much easier for busy doctors around the globe. Last but not least, Electronic Medical Records safely store the patient information and medical history so that even the patient can easily have access to information needed when his or her doctor retires and he requires a new doctor. Efficiencies that doctors are fighting to put into play to save cash will eventually help the patients save money too. Every hospital should try embracing technology by using EMR systems.
