Electronic Health Record - The
Biggest Contribution to Healthcare
Healthcare is taking one step ahead to manage the
patient’s data electronically, which is necessary for the treatment of the
patient as well as claim processing. Electronic health records and electronic
medical records are
the latest platforms used for data management.
What is a need for electronic
intervention?
For best ethical practices, federal regulations
are being implemented to every aspect of healthcare. Record management also
getting structured under federal regulations and HIPPA compliance requirements.
The tools used to capture the data and generate records are also expected to
follow these regulations.
We have seen medical records generated on paper
and in last few decades’ computer has replaced handwritten efforts to generate
medical records to some extent, but required manual intervention for
comprehension. But some basic limitations still persist:
- Adhering to the data privacy and data portability rules by HIPAA is difficult
- Data storage required more space and was tedious and costly.
- Data assessing and accessing frequently was difficult.
- It was a very time consuming process for the physicians as well.
- There is no uniformity in the reports.
EHR Advantages:
Adhering to regulations is much easier with the
help of latest digital platform. EHRs can create an environment that will
provide much better solution and the service adds more value in terms of
quality, cost effectiveness and preciseness.
Improvement in medical record generation as well
as medical data collection with the latest technology based software helps the
patients by improving their satisfaction level. Using EHR to capture data has
following advantages:
- The data is easily recorded within stipulated time.
- There is a very minimal manual data comprehension required.
- The data collection errors are reduced to null.
- Data privacy is maintained.
- Data portability when required is safe.
- Data analysis is far easier.
- Record archival and re-utilization for treatment purpose is hassle-free.
This helps in collection of precise information in
given time allowing doctors to spend more time for patient interaction and to focus
on actual work. This has improved patient/physician relationship and the
satisfaction in the patient.
