What is EHM & EHR?

Electronic medical records (EMRs) and electronic health records (EHRs) are often used interchangeably in the healthcare industry through platforms and solutions that store, host and transfer medical record information.

EMR allows the electronic entry, storage, and maintenance of digital medical data for specific encounters in hospitals and ambulatory environments. EHR contains the patient’s records from doctors and includes demographics, test results, medical history, history of present illness (HPI), and medications. EMRs cannot be shared, transferred or accessed as easily across healthcare organizations, while EHRs are designed to be shareable with everyone involved in a patient’s care.

How can EHR help?

Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems offer numerous advantages that enhance patient care, streamline administrative processes, and improve overall efficiency within healthcare organizations. Some of the key advantages include: 

  • Centralized Medical Information: EHR systems consolidate patient health information into a single, digital platform accessible to authorized healthcare providers.
  • Improved Patient Care and Safety: EHR's support clinical decision-making by providing real-time access to critical patient data, including diagnostic images, test results, and treatment plans.
  • Enhanced Communication and Collaboration: EHR systems enable seamless communication and collaboration among members of the healthcare team, including physicians, nurses, specialists, and allied health professionals.
  • Efficient Documentation and Workflow Management: EHRs streamline administrative tasks, such as charting, documentation, and billing, reducing paperwork and manual data entry.
  • Interoperability and Data Exchange: EHR systems facilitate interoperability between different healthcare organizations and systems, enabling the secure exchange of patient information across disparate platforms.
  • Clinical Decision Support Tools: EHRs incorporate clinical decision support tools, including alerts, reminders, and evidence-based guidelines, to assist healthcare providers in making informed decisions at the point of care.
  • Population Health Management: EHR systems support population health management initiatives by aggregating and analyzing patient data to identify trends, risk factors, and opportunities for intervention.
  • Regulatory Compliance and Reporting: EHR systems facilitate compliance with regulatory requirements and reporting mandates, such as Meaningful Use (MU) criteria, Quality Payment Program (QPP) requirements, and HIPAA privacy and security standards.

WHAT CAN EMR & EHR DO?

Accurate electronic health records are literally a matter of life and death and sifting through the many EMR/EHR features can feel overwhelming. EMR and EHR software collect and standardize the information needed for managing patients’ medical records and treatment, so choosing the right system based on your specific EMR requirements is vital. 

Below is a list of the key features of an EMR/EHR System: 

  • Charting
  • Communication
  • Electronic Prescription
  • Results Management
  • Medical Billing
  • Clinical Workflows Management
  • Telehealth

WHAT INDUSTRIES DOES EMR & EHR WORKS?

The answer is 100% in the healthcare sector. These platforms and solutions are designed specifically for hospitals, clinics, medical practices, labs and other healthcare related providers.
