How Does EHR help to doctors/Hospital ??

  • Better Information Availability: With EHRs, patient records are available simultaneously to all appropriate staff at all times, meaning your staff can more efficiently locate and process patient information.
  • Improved Medical Practice Management: Through integrated scheduling systems that link appointments directly to progress notes, automated coding, and easier-to-manage claims, your staff can more efficiently run your organization and improve medical practice management.
  • Less Time Spent “Chasing Charts”: When staff members have quick, easy access to patient records, they save time that would otherwise be spent locating paper charts.
  • Reduced Paperwork: Administrative tasks, such as filling out forms and processing billing requests, require staff time and effort. EHRs streamline these tasks.
  • Less Time Spent Deciphering Handwriting: With EHRs, staff members will spend less time interpreting handwritten notes.
  • Enhanced Information Sharing: EHRs can be programmed for easy or even automatic delivery of information from laboratories or other providers, saving staff time that would otherwise be spent manually entering information into patient records.
