Why is it important for providers to adopt Electronic Health Records (EHRs)?
By adopting EHRs, providers will have a tool to help improve quality of care and be able to easily share information with other health care professionals. Benefits include having complete and accurate health information available to the provider at the point of care, avoiding the unnecessary repetition of tests or procedures, reducing the possibility of adverse events by having the patient’s complete medical history, and increasing the efficiency of administrative tasks, allowing for more doctor-patient interaction.
