EHRs contribute to improved patient care in several ways:
Comprehensive View: EHRs provide a holistic view of a patient’s health, enabling better diagnosis and treatment plans. Preventive Care: EHRs can alert healthcare providers to preventive measures such as vaccinations and screenings. Patient Engagement: EHRs often include patient portals that allow patients to access their health information, fostering greater engagement in their own care. Reduced Errors: EHRs minimize errors by providing accurate and up-to-date patient information.
