Why Are Electronic Health Records (EHRs) Important?
Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are digital versions of patients' paper charts. They provide real-time, patient-centered records that make information available instantly and securely to authorized users. EHRs improve the accuracy and clarity of medical records, reduce errors, and facilitate better coordination among healthcare providers. For nurses, EHRs streamline documentation, enhance workflow efficiency, and improve the overall quality of care.
