Medical Records on Patients' Waiting Time

Academic Paper from the year 2021 in the subject Health - Health system, grade: 1.0, Walden University, language: English, abstract: Electronic medical/health records (EMR/EHR) systems are known to collect and store patients' information digitally. Evidence points out that both EMR and EHR can be used to improve patient outcomes and mitigating hospital expenditure through reduced expenses on drugs, minimizing the tests and procedures, decreasing the errors in billing, and improving the documentation of charges on a patient (Jabour, 2020). These benefits imply healthcare organizations can improve the quality of care accorded to patients, increase the productivity of the staff members, and enhance the communication outcomes between the medical practitioners and the patients.
