What is the purpose of using electronic health records?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Transmitting info...: Electronic health records are a means to transmit medical information from patient to provider (& between a patient's providers) quickly & easily. It's meant to improve patient care by (1) faster transmission (waiting for someone to send postal mail or even a fax is now passe), (2) avoiding duplication of tests & therapy (as providers can see what has already been performed), & (3) compiling data.
