EHR software or Electronic Health Record software system is a doctor’s new best friend. This software is created to make a doctor’s life easier and more efficient. Doctors must keep tract of their patients’ records and charts. Over time, these records can pile up and be an unmanageable handful of information to organize. A doctor’s office can also be crowded by filing cabinets that consume lots of space. The only solution is to reduce the records by purging those that are too old. While many of these records may be very old, they may still be very important to a doctor because it remains a very rich source of information or a good reference.
In order to be able to keep these records in an organized and easily accessible way, EHR software was created. This software will convert these piles of records into electronic data that can easily be stored in a PC. This means that doctors will no longer have their offices cramped with important records. These sets of information can benefit others in the medical field in a wider extent as it can be shared across different settings that provide healthcare. All those information that include medical history, immunization status, demographics, medication and allergies, radiology tests and images, billing information and laboratory test results will be embedded in a network-connected system of information.
This software is available for medical professionals whose specialties include Cardiology, Behavioral Health, ENT, Dermatology, Family Practice, Endocrinology, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pain Management, Oncology, Pediatrics, Orthopedics, Urology, Podiatry, Urgent Care and Pulmonology. There is different EHR software for each specialty but its general purpose is to help doctors manage their time efficiently. The software will help the doctor manage billing and scheduling, provide improved patient care, and improve output.
Through EHR software, the cost of maintaining records will be reduced. It will also help improve the quality of health care as its efficiency will lessen the risk of medical errors and the incompetence from quality-analysts. Also, it will promote evidence-based medicine as medical researchers and practicing medical professionals can compare information from the easily accessible records through the network system that the software has. This software used in health institutions such as clinics, hospitals, a physician’s office or an integrated delivery network.
