When any physician treating a patient at any time and in any place has access to all the patient s records, the physician can make more informed decisions based on complete information. Also, EHR/HIE systems can automatically alert health care professionals when there are conflicts between prescribed drugs. In addition, when medical information is stored electronically, problems with illegible handwriting on paper records and prescriptions are eliminated.
