Electronic Medical Records – EMR software adoption made easy
As technology advances, electronic methods of storing information have become more prevalent and beneficial to organizations. Healthcare organizations are no exception as Electronic Medical Records (EMR software adoption) are progressively becoming more prevalent in healthcare facilities.
We hereby put forward the summary of a feedback section with one of our popular client physicians who has made a complete hospital EMR adoption model in her practice.
Do you feel our EMR software adoption has made your life easier?
Having a record system that has easier access to essential patient information as well as instantly share records between physicians and different medical practices is a major benefit for health care providers.
At the time while I was managing physical patient records it usually takes long hours for patient processing and usually misses out on relevant patient reports and results. After adopting the EMR system I can now pay more attention to the patient as a person as I’m spending less time trying to document the visit and write everything down and there are no missing relevant patient records. Resource utilization in hospitals is the key to keep hospital operating expenses down.
According to you what are the major benefits of transitioning to an EMR software adoption model?
Through EMR physicians can ensure that people are getting the services they need, with a much faster turnaround. Shifting to a complete EMR system helped us to ensure:
Hospital EMR software and space savings
EHR software replaces paper charts completely. Not only is limited space now used for another function of the office, but endless office supplies like paper, dividers, and chart expenses are eliminated.
Better Coordination & cost efficiency
EMR adoption enables the ability to share pertinent patient information instantly between hospital departments and speed up patient care. All providers involved in a patient’s care can access, enter, and share information in an EMR that enhances better communication between departments, reduce operational costs and time loss for healthcare professionals.
Better clinical decisions
Having comprehensive health information within fingertips, doctors can make better diagnostic, treatment, and surgery decisions. EMRs share patient information in terms of medical history, allergies, previous diagnosis & treatments, drug-allergy interactions, etc. to help provide safer care and prevent adverse medication outcomes. Also, the performance-enhancing tools built-in EMRs, such as clinical decision support and real-time quality reporting, will help your organization improve healthcare quality.
Patient safety and Electronic Medical Records
Handwritten documents are subject to misspellings and errors and are a critical concern in the aspect of patient care. Implementing EMRs eliminates such kind faults and ensures complete patient safety.
Anything else you’d like to share about the EMR adoption model
Our healthcare communities are characterized by complex processes and extensive information, with physicians under immense pressure not only from the patient population but also from their personal lives and families. Adopting an EMR will help physicians to handle more patients without diminishing the quality of care. Also, physicians are able to spend more time for consultation and also with family maintaining a balanced lifestyle. A balanced lifestyle helps in smooth earnings.
