What Role do Electronic Health Records (EHRs) Play?
Electronic health records (EHRs) are digital versions of patients' paper charts. They provide a comprehensive view of a patient's medical history, including diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, and test results. EHRs enhance communication among healthcare providers, reduce errors, and facilitate more informed decision-making. For nurses, EHRs streamline documentation, reduce paperwork, and allow for more time to focus on patient care.
