“The adoption of EHR is increasingly gaining momentum in the healthcare organizations. An EHR system establishes a more efficient and effective information infrastructure that improves clinical documentation and enhances patient care & safety. This is because digital records can integrate various tasks and are more efficiently manageable than paper records. Moreover, in the current global medical environment, EHR systems help in coordinating the appointments of international patients (who travel to various treatment centers). This can be accounted to the advantages of EHR being able to provide seamless connectivity to many electronic medical record systems; offering secure access to patient health information. Therefore, EHR is becoming a strategic priority for hospitals to deliver safe, higher quality and cost effective care.”
