Below are just some of the miscellaneous advantages for both doctors and patients of switching from paper to electronic medical records:
1) Green-friendly—saves paper
2) Prevents overlapping or contradictory advice among doctors, specialists, and other workers
3) Actions and recommendations from one doctor are immediately available to any other workers involved
4) Eliminates illegible handwriting
5) Ability to store records of multiple types from multiple offices, such as doctors’ offices in Frederick, MD and specialists’ offices in Northern VA, all in the same location
6) Records are backed up in case of emergency. With an effective and thoroughly tested backup system and disaster recovery scheme, an electronic record is much more reliable and less prone to data loss than conventional paper files.
7) Only authorized users can access the records. Record access can be automated, restricted, and monitored. In addition, individual users can be assigned specific levels of access to various data types. Even audit logs can be electronically screened to detect statistical abnormalities which may indicate a security breach or unauthorized record access.
8) Practices and patients can access customer support from medical billing workers available through EMR software
9) EMR software also provides a database of medical codes, such as ICD.9, HIPAA, HCFA 1500, and the most up-to-date CPT code books
10) Medical record information can be downloaded directly onto a PDA or Palm device
11) Online access to medical records is available wherever internet access is available
12) EMR software includes storage for medical transcription SOAP notes
13) EMR software keeps all users connected to personal and online support services
14) EMR software is generally user-friendly, but there are many versions available to choose from. The office in Frederick, MD may not need the more complex version with a higher learning curve for users that the specialist’s office in Northern VA requires.
