What benefits do Electronic Health Records offer to physicians and their practices?
A. An electronic health record documents a patient’s care, and when appropriately connected to other health care providers and organizations, can be used to improve quality care and safety. EHRs offer a number of benefits to the physicians’ office, including immediate 24/7 access to patient information, intra-office communication among various members of the care team, tracking tools for testing, results and follow-up, and more timely and accurate billing capabilities to improve office efficiency.
