  2. INTRODUCTION Healthcare professionals, physicians, and payers are working towards finding better ways to store health data from patients in a secure and easy-to-manage way.

As we are all aware of numerous benefits of EHR, here is the list of benefits that shows how EHRs can improve patient safety.

In that case, the new healthcare provider should analyze the previous medical records of patients to proceed with the treatments.

EHR can also help you to check whether a patient has any kind of allergies; so that you can prescribe medicines that are safe for the patient.

  6. 2.EHR medication & appointment reminders improves patient safety The best EHR software can track your patient’s treatment history effectively. Reminders and alerts of their upcoming appointmentscan be easily sent to the patient’s phone. These features will be more beneficial for newborns that require various vaccines over the year.

  8. 4. EHR helps in providing faster treatment for patients • The medical practices that use EHRs can deliver care very faster by easily accessing medical records than those that do not have EHRs. • These health records allow healthcare providers to view the complete medical history of patients which helps them to make an effective treatment plan meeting the patients’ needs. “It can also help doctors in renewing medical prescriptions and scheduling appointments quickly”.

  9. 5. EHR Improves Clinical Decision Making Having a complete health record of a patient's care encourages you and your staff to settle on better choices for the patient. For instance, a patient going through chemotherapy won't be recommended sure anti-toxins as these can seriously harm the individual's health and can bring about deadly conditions. “Having a record of the patient's health information permits specialists to make informed decisions concerning their prescription”.

  10. 6. EHR Means Ease Of Data Sharing Electronic medical records make it feasible for clinics or medical care suppliers to create applications that permit their patients to see their health information without any problem.

If a patient visits different health specialists for different reasons, their treatment plans and medications can undoubtedly be imparted to different specialists also. This encourages you to have a comprehensive perspective on an individual's healthcare delivery. Informed clinical decisions can help improve patient safety.
