EHRs and the ability to exchange health information electronically can help you provide higher quality and safer care for patients while creating tangible enhancements for your organization. EHRs help providers better manage care for patients and provide better health care by:
Providing accurate, up-to-date, and complete information about patients at the point of care
Enabling quick access to patient records for more coordinated, efficient care
Securely sharing electronic information with patients and other clinicians
Helping providers more effectively diagnose patients, reduce medical errors, and provide safer care
Improving patient and provider interaction and communication, as well as health care convenience
Enabling safer, more reliable prescribing
Helping promote legible, complete documentation and accurate, streamlined coding and billing
