Electronic Health Record Has Arrived
March 6th, 2009
SALEM CLINIC is making changes
…to better serve you.
What is an EHR (Electronic Health Record)
An EHR can best be thought of as an electronic version of the paper chart that your doctor uses to store your medical history. It includes such things as observations, laboratory tests and results diagnostic imaging reports, treatments, drugs administered, and legal permissions. An EHR replaces the traditional paper chart with an electronic record.
The purpose of an EHR is to give your doctor access to your chart from any medical facility, whether you are in the doctor’s office, the hospital, or on call. With an EHR, your doctor (or other physicians who may need it) have full, complete and secure access to your medical history.
What will an EHR do for me?
EHR systems contribute to more effective and efficient patient care leading to improved delivery of care and a reduction of duplicate testing and prescribing.
Instead of being hand-written, the medical record is stored in easy-to-read text, helping to reduce medical errors from incorrect translations of the medical note. For instance, all of your medications can be easily read by all of your doctors, reducing the risk of prescribing a drug that could cause an adverse reaction when combined with an existing medication.
Other advantages of an EHR include improvement in the service your physician’s office provides as your chart will always be accessible when you call with a medical question or refill request. Additionally, your prescription can be sent directly to your preferred pharmacy for pick-up, reducing wait times or the need to visit the office.
