When a doctor who is treating a patient has access to all of the patient’s records, the doctor can make more informed decisions based on complete information. Also, EHR/HIE systems can automatically tell health care professionals when there are conflicts between prescribed drugs. In addition, when medical information is stored electronically, there are no problems with unclear handwriting on paper records and prescriptions.
