How to Successfully Integrate an EHR / EMR Solution

Introduction • In the medical field, EHR Interoperability refers to the process where different healthcare institutions can get hold of the health data of other healthcare institutions. Though the data is shared among different medical professionals, it is secured from unauthorized personnel.

Throughout this process, there is consistently increased productivity of the medical staff members.

Role of EHR During the Pandemic • Easy access to Patient’s Data • Disease Surveillance and Contact Tracing

Easy access to Patient’s Data • Location is always a barrier when it comes to communication, but the barrier is no longer there with the use of technology. For instance, when there is a need to share information about a COVID-19 patient, EHR Interoperability has made it quicker and easier for that to be done.

Different medical doctors can discuss a patient's case, sharing ideas about the issue and what treatment to administer.

• The patients can be located and assessed remotely. The infected patients can get medical attention without necessarily going to a medical facility. The system uses an app to communicate with the patient and other medical providers.

Disease Surveillance and Contact Tracing • The systems have helped the researchers develop ways to curb the spread of COVID-19. For instance, using the EHR Data Analysis, there are dashboards created to track the spread of the disease and are also used to get an immediate response. Data analytics worldwide get shared globally, and all the measures to be taken are carried out in an organized manner.

Features of an EHR System •

EHR System certification can only be guaranteed if and only if the system provides the best patient support. There should be easy patient scheduling and intelligent patient workflow. The appointment of the patient can be scheduled with a lot of ease. Since the disease is contagious, a patient can easily be examined and medicated without waiting in the waiting area.

•

There should be full access to the EHR system. All the order sets and templates should be created when a doctor is attending to any patient. The sets help to group patients with the same diagnoses. The system is easy to use, with simple details to report the progress of the COVID-19 infected patients.

•

EHR/EMR Integration involves the system enabling the medical staff members capable of practicing COVID-19 protocols, lab, and test results, helping the patients make decisions. Most patients' experiences using the system are excellent because the system can help in administrative processes and effectively integrate patients' cases that need high demand of attention.

Integration of EHR/EMR Solution • In integrating EHR/EMR solutions, there is the need to select a vendor first. In the selection, what majorly happens is getting information about various vendors. After collecting vendors' knowledge, there is a need to narrow the list to get the potential vendors who can be managed. When getting the contract with a potential vendor, there should be room for negotiation, and all terms and conditions should be well understood.

• Implementing an EHR system is a bit daunting because the needs of medical institutions need to be defined. Other factors to be considered are hardware needs, training of the staff members, and then the implementation to take place.

It is essential to test the EHR to ensure the proper functionality of the EHR system. The EHR system is updated by consideration of all critical tasks. Adopting an outdating EHR system requires concrete goals to be set.

Final Thought • When you need to decide between ready-made and custom EHR/EMR solutions, it would be best if you considered learning each separately. EHR ready-made systems offer solutions that transform the health care industry instantly. The custom EMR solutions are easily adaptable and easy to implement.

• Without a doubt, custom software development is the most effective solution for EHR/EMR software solutions. It thrives in the healthcare sector because there is improved productivity and better data exchange between various systems.
