Benefits of Research-based EMR Systems
Research is an investigation conducted on the sources and study materials for the researcher to establish facts and offer new conclusions on a given subject matter. Currently, research is the main factor considered before an organization implements an idea on the product service to be offered to the customers. In this case, it is important for the health care institutions to utilize research concerning the benefits of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) (Greenberg et al., 2016). EMR is an electronic record of any information related to health care of individuals, which can be gathered, created, consulted, and managed by nurses, clinicians, and other authorized staff within healthcare organizations.
With the help of research conducted, health care institution can understand the benefits of EMR systems before implementing the systems. The research will enable the healthcare managers, stakeholders, and other authorities to compare the benefits of EMR systems with manual filing and recording. Some of the research-based benefits of EMR systems include safety, quality, and efficiency within the health care institution (Hazlehurst et al., 2015). With the help of research, the physicians can gather and store patient's information like medications, lab results, diagnosis, and allergies in the EMR systems. During the subsequent visits, the physician can access such information and attend to the patient within the shortest...
As a result, the physician, doctor or a nurse will be in a position to save the lives of many people, as he/she can access well-researched information in the EMR systems efficiently and effectively.
After researching information regarding patients and other individuals in the health care institution, the information will be stored in chronological order in the EMS systems as per the time. The physicians, doctors, nurses and any other authorized staff can access specific information according to the time of storage about the subject matter in question at that time. The professional attending to the clients will not spend more time perusing through files and other information before getting the right information. Through the help of research-based EMR systems, the patients can access health information resources, disease management tools, and health records. Some patients might visit health care institutions and ask the physician to show medical records and disease management tools such that he/she can understand how to manage his/her health while at home. It will be difficult for the physician or any other staff to provide such information with well-researched and stored information in EMR systems. Researched and stored information in the EMR systems will enable the medical providers to provide disease surveillance and safety efforts for the patients. It will be easier for the medical experts to monitor the health of the patient and giving recommendations for improvement by accessing the information stored in the EMR systems (Greenberg et al., 2016).

Health Systems Management and Electronic Health Records Healthcare is an essential factor or tool in relation to the American society. The society of America has no national socialized healthcare system. In this research paper, the focus will be on the Medicare healthcare system in the context of the United States. The paper will focus on illustration of the concepts of the Medicare healthcare system, various management challenges, problems, and opportunities in
Healthcare Health Care Law Ethics Health care over the years has become one of the most important debates to take place within the United States of America. This fact holds particularly true for the major part of the Obama Administrations whose New Health Care policies has been criticized extremely (Zhi Qu, 2010). The world, however, is still waiting for the final curtain to rise and to witness the climax which would be
Healthcare Economics Overall Healthcare And Economics Healthcare economics: Current challenges from a nursing perspective Although the subject of healthcare economics has been hotly-debated, on one issue there is widespread agreement: the aging of the population will substantively increase the demand for healthcare in the near and far future. As the population worldwide is aging and living longer, the need for essential services over a longer lifespan will generate more costs for an already-beleaguered
Health Care As human beings, our health and longevity have never been better. Many people today live to 100 years and beyond, and often in good and active health. One of the major reasons for this is better health care and more access to health care for more people. On the other hand, however, many people do not have access to the same health care services as others. Often, the main
Health Information Technology The development of patient management systems continues to revolutionize the field of healthcare, specifically in the areas of treatment plans, content and records management systems, and predictive analytics. These areas are all making healthcare information and knowledge management a critical success factor in creating effective healthcare information systems globally (Epstein, Fiscella, Lesser, Stange, 2010). Implicit in the areas of records management and predictive analytics is also the need
Health Law and Regulations In America, the health care industry is highly regulated. This is because there are certain aspects of the law which are designed to improve quality and offer everyone with a variety of treatment options. To fully understand this relationship requires carefully examining a specific government agency, the laws impacting the industry, the effects on a health care provider and how this is affecting communities. Together, these elements
