Finding an EHR that’s easy to use
Electronic health records (EHRs) are designed to help you in your independent practice, giving you the tools you need to manage your patients’ health effectively. An EHR enables you to access, input, and maintain pertinent information regarding a patient’s medical history, previous visits to other providers, lab tests, and diagnoses. It’s critical for your practice and for your patient’s well-being that you find an EHR that’s easy to use.
As you look for an EHR solution for your new independent practice, keep in mind the benefits of having the right system for your needs. An EHR not only gives you easy access to patient information, it can also streamline your practice’s workflow. The system can support care-related activities, including quality management, evidence-based decision support, and outcomes reporting.
An EHR that is easy to use for your team and your patients is the next step in the continued progress of healthcare that strengthens the relationship with your patients. You and your clinical team will be able to make better decisions and provide better care with the appropriate EHR solution for your new practice.
The EHR can improve patient care in many ways, including:
- Reducing the incidence of medical error by improving the accuracy and clarity of medical records
- Making the health information available to providers and patients
