Using Technology to Better Manage Your Health

WHAT ARE ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORDS?

Electronic health records (EHRs) are digital versions of the paper medical records your doctors, nurses, and other healthcare providers use to guide the care they give you. Like paper records, EHRs include important data such as your care plan, medical history, and list of allergies and medications, test results and more. Unlike paper records, your EHR is securely stored online; so your confidential health information is available in one place, when and where authorized members of your care team need it.

At RUHS, we use the Epic EHR system to securely record, track and store your health information. We believe that this technology helps us to provide you with the best and most complete care possible. Your personal online portal to access your record and communicate with your healthcare team is referred to as MyChart.

Benefits Of Your Electronic Health Record

Improve the Quality of Care

With Electronic Health Records (EHRs), your doctors have the most complete and accurate information about your health at their fingertips. Therefore, they are better able to recommend the best plan of care for you.

Enhance Patient Safety

The technology used in EHRs can alert your doctors to potential problems, such as allergy to a certain medicine or if a new medication may cause problems with another medicine you are taking.

Coordinate Care Across Your Healthcare Team

Because your EHR stores your health information in one place, your doctor can see if a test or procedure has already been ordered by another provider, then review the results — saving you both time and money.

Reduce Paperwork

Protecting Your Privacy

RUHS takes our obligation seriously to ensure that your personal health information is held in the strictest of confidence. We have several security measures in place to protect your health information from unauthorized access.
