EHR or electronic health records is exactly what the name suggests. It is a repository of patients’ medical information stored in digital format. The benefit of using
is that providers can pull up patient history with a few clicks and know about the health of their patients better before finalizing treatments. This is especially helpful in case of accidents, emergencies, or other scenarios where the patient might not be able to communicate effectively with their treating physician. Certain pre-existing conditions or chronic diseases need to be taken into consideration before a doctor can decide upon medication or any course of treatment. This is to ensure that the patients respond well to the treatment, and do not suffer any adverse reactions.
