Are Electronic Health Records Better?

by  • 

Health_Chispa MagazineThe healthcare industry is making a big shift toward electronic record keeping and cloud computing. The introduction of electronic health records and the government’s push to have EHRs implemented nationwide are making this new technology more and more common. Are EHRs really better than paper medical histories? The answer to this question is a big YES.

According to the MHA online department of Ohio University, EHRs cost less to maintain in the long run. Doctors and healthcare providers can also access your complete medical history—with your consent— whenever you visit a facility for a treatment. This results in more accurate diagnosis and better treatments in general.

It doesn’t stop there either. EHRs are being used to allow doctors based in different locations to work together on a patient. Paired with digital imaging technology, electronic health records are changing the healthcare landscape.
