BENEFITS OF MODERN EHR
Help streamline patient visits and care
Patients can access their own information via an online portal
Allows PC to share information with other specialty providers
Patients will be able to receive better care through personalized alerts and reminders, all through your practice’s EHR.
GPS TECHNOLOGY AND REAL-TIME REMINDERS AND ALERTS FOR PATIENTS
Personal interactions via live video streaming have become exceedingly popular in recent years. In the future, we expect this trend to carry into many EHR platforms, allowing patients to have face-to-face time with their physician from the comfort of their own home.
VIRTUAL INTERACTIONS WITH PATIENTS OUTSIDE OF THE OFFICE
Interoperability is one of the weaknesses of the current EHR. In the coming years, you should expect this issue to be improved, allowing you to share patient data and other important information with relevant healthcare providers seamlessly through your EHR.
IMPROVEMENTS IN INTEROPERABILITY-EASE OF ACCESS FOR A VARIETY OF HEALTHCARE INSTITUTIONS
While we have seen recent improvements, physician workflows should become more streamlined in the future. This will not only improve patient care but also alleviate additional physician stress and time.
A MORE STREAMLINED WORKFLOW PROCESS
currently, many healthcare facilities use a genera EHR that isn’t customized to fit their practice. This
“one size fits all” approach doesn’t always work, and is a source of frustration for many in the medical industry. Sooner than later, we expect to see more practices customizing their EHR to work better for their staff and practice
ADAPTATION OF MORE UNIQUE EHR SYSTEMS-LESS GENERAL, “ONE SIZE FITS ALL” ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORDS
we expect more practices to begin outsourcing their medical transcriptions to save their physicians time, save their practice money and optimize their EHR. Outsourcing is becoming more popular in the healthcare industry, and we predict more awareness of the benefits of outsourcing medical transcriptions in the coming years.
OUTSOURCING MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTIONS FOR OPTIMIZED EHR
