EMR Is Worth In Medical Records Documentation
Online, April 22, 2011 (Newswire.com) - The EMR should not be replaced or confused with EHR as both have different coverage and entity. Anyhow, both technologies should coexist as they are dependant on each other. EMR is practice management software that is composed of clinical information storage area, medical technologies, medical decision making backing, pharmacy applications and medical documentation applications, which are used by the physicians in documenting, monitoring, managing and delivering care to the patient.
Integration of EMR in the medical delivery setting offers a wide range of advantages which usually outweigh the drawbacks. The major reason to shift the traditional medical records to EMR is that it saves a good amount of space. Rather than occupying an entire floor for the storage of patients' medical records, all information can be kept inside the computer memory. Along with the saved space, there is also a reduction in the amount of paper used to write doctors' orders, lab results, documentation and history making. Apart from hospitals, doctors' clinics and health insurance companies also can manage the patients' medical claims through this software.
Inter-operability or the capability for all members of the healthcare team who are involved in the management of the patient to coordinate is another major advantage of EMR software. Medical practitioners who are well-coordinated have less room for redundancy in drug prescriptions, laboratory testing, rendered care and prevent the occurrence of medical software. Not only primary care providers benefited from EMR but also the patients, who are after all the focus of care. Electronic medical records software prevents the patients' specialists from providing contradicting advises and medical regimen as his medical records as accessed by anyone involved in his care.
