Name five advantages of converting paper records to EHRs.
What will be an ideal response?
EHRs are becoming very sophisticated in their use because the information is readily available to all the healthcare providers, the patient's test results go into the record as soon as they have been read, the records can follow the patient across a continuum of care, these records are much more secure and confidential than a paper record, and the record can be accessed by more than one provider at a time so there is no waiting to get the chart and then not getting all the documentation in.
