What is an Electronic Medical Record (EMR)?

What is an Electronic Medical Record (EMR)?

Electronic medical record (EMRs) systems are digital patient chart repositories. As with electronic health records, the goal is to improve the quality of patient care, but these systems should also optimize your performance and efficiencies. TempDev streamlines EMR workflows with optimization, training, and support for EMR features and functionality.  

An electronic medical record (EMR) is typically associated with an electronic patient chart with less interoperability than an EHR. However, the terms EHR and EMR are often used interchangeably even though there is a difference. An EMR allows you to chart your patients' medical history and treatment and they also enable improved patient medical billing and coding. You can monitor your patients, track clinical data, and improve your patients' experiences.

What Are the Benefits of Electronic Medical Records (EMRs)? 

With electronic medical records (EMRs), you can more easily share information between the providers in the patient's care team. Doctors, patients, and staff can access the most current information to enable quality treatment and prevent overtreatment. With easy accessibility, you can preserve your patients' vital details and historical data to comply with regulations. Top benefits include: 

    With EMRs, you can reduce errors, better diagnose patients, and support higher patient satisfaction. In addition, you're supporting better communication as you promote complete and accurate documentation. EMRs have a narrow focus, incorporating the data from just your organization, including medications, allergies, immunizations, and medical history.
