EHR provides an interoperable central repository of database on patients which is system and device agnostic, thus facilitating anywhere healthcare benefiting both patients and caregivers.
The consultant physician can get access to information related to patients allergies, medication and past diagnostic records, which can aid decision-making and eliminate chances of error, thus providing a holistic diagnosis and treatment than treatment on presenting only conditions.
For patients, the treatment can be more effective with avoiding duplication of tests and procedures for which historical data is present.
