EMR Facts and Figures

EMR standards---facts and figures Although most of the Medical and healthcare companies maintain international standards for using electronic signatures when using EMR, knowing about them is imperative and it is important to know the national and international standards that are associated with them.

Not the case that only a workstation is required for retrieving a patient’s records, also, it is also possible to various settings allow us to feed and take data based on the systems available and the healthcare settings. Also, new generation technologies allow EMR data accessible through mobile and other handwriting devices. There are few EMR systems that automatically monitor all the clinical cases by analyzing patient data. The EMR systems then predict the adverse cases that can happen using that data. The detections can be anything ranging from discharging the patient, transferring the patients, changing the pharmacy orders, radiology and other laboratory test results and all the other auxiliary data for noting down everything. There are many healthcare agencies around the world that do research on EMR systems, some research areas include: • • • Finding out new ways to transfer EMR data Carving out ways to transfer one practice data to another Find out how the EMR systems can be integrated across the world
