Technology Overview
EMRs Enable Healthcare Providers to Manage Costs and Expand Diagnostic Capabilities

Healthcare providers are realizing the need to create a digital replica of their paper-based records due to the constraints and fallacies of medical charts. Electronic medical records (EMRs) help facilitate communications among clinical staff and have a significant impact on the overall operational efficiency. The time required to search patient charts to obtain information and nursing documentation time has considerably decreased. With clinicians spending less time filing and searching for data, patient satisfaction has subsequently increased.

The increasing use of mobile and wireless technologies at the bedside is likely to impel the adoption rate of EMRs in the future. "The use and availability of tablet PCs offering longer battery life, and light-weight tablets offering superior performance can facilitate bedside use, and can thereby enable clinicians to attain the benefits of electronic health records (EHRs)," notes the analyst of this research service. Networked access through a range of devices across the extensive healthcare area provides a variety of benefits, including the reduction of medical errors and increased operational efficiency. EHR not only analyzes workflows and processes but also helps the understanding of the modifications required before the switch. Integrated models offer clinicians easy access to the entire system and a host of functionalities to make instant decisions.

Financial Incentives and Grants Can Further Encourage the Deployment of EMR

Although EMRs can enable healthcare providers to efficiently manage overhead expenses and improve revenues with complete reimbursement for services, physicians’ resistance to change, the lack of financial incentives, and office technology challenge their implementation. Capital cost outlay or the lack of capital required to implement a comprehensive clinical solution is a matter of concern within the healthcare community.

"To help defray costs following conversion and installation, financial subsidies and tax credits could be provided," explains the analyst. "Grants could be provided to organizations that meet certain readiness criteria and vendors could be rewarded for providing interfaces between systems. Providers must also be made to understand that with the help of EMRs, they need not succumb to market pressures but respond effectively to changing conditions."
