Problem Statement
“Without the use of electronic health records can cause extra work such as, flipping through patient’s charts. Now, with the use of electronic health records all information is electronic and easier to access.”
Before there was the use of electronic health records, there was more work for the staff. Things that were done that took up time was them handwriting prescriptions, flipping through patients charts to look at flow charts and to looking at data from other physicians. From the office using electronic health records made all of those issues go away. Putting information into the computer is easier for the doctor or staff. All the staff has to get used to the new system and see how it works.
Research Question
What are ways that our staff can practice to prepare for electronic health records? How does the use of electronic health records provide improved care to patients?
It is important to know the ways that all staff need to practice to prepare for electronic health records. One way to do that is making sure all rooms are set up for the new system. Another way is putting the patient’s information into the computer from the charts. Knowing how the use of an electronic health record will improve patient’s care is something the doctor needs to know for their practice. If the system is not working for the patient’s, they might go somewhere else.
