, Testing the Effectiveness and Resourcefulness of EHR
Electronic Health Records, alia EHR is a modern technology used in healthcare space to
record and store patient data. EHR is today changing how clinical data is collected, including
triage data, diagnostic information, lab test results, and treatment made. It also includes a
paradigm shift in the processing and storage of sharable data, in ways that it can be easily
retrieved, analyzed, and transmitted between nodes. This technology has promoted the
achievement of success milestone in the achievement of data safety and sharability of data,
especially for referrals, minimizing the baggage of physical patient data transactions and medical
error rates.
The usefulness of EHR, is however an important factor to continuously evaluate in every
organization where it’s implemented. This evaluation entails conducting periodic appraisal of
EHR facets to achieve specific goals for which it’s installed in an organization with optimal
efficiency, effectiveness and consistency (Dotzert, 2020). Although different health
organizations align their EHR technology installation with different objectives, the universal
measures of efficiency and utility include reliability reduce workload and burnouts among
clinicians, reduced medical errors, improvements in patient outcomes (including safety and
seamless referral procedures), improved staff satisfaction (low attrition and increased
productivity), improved data security, quality of care and reduced healthcare costs, due to no
need of conducting duplicate tests or other medical procedures (Aguirre et al., 2019). The main
goal of this study is to evaluate the resourcefulness of EHR in the healthcare sector.
