Used properly, technology and data can improve our lives – from day-to-day healthy living to prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and home care. Electronic medical records (EMRs) make this data accessible and actionable.
At Cleveland Clinic we have seen the benefits first-hand of efficient, connected and accessible care, for example:
EMRs allow us to gather all of this disparate information and make sense of it for the benefit of the patient.
If used properly, EMRs drive quality as a core foundational tool. However, just having an EMR won’t improve quality; how you use them and the software and systems within them will help drive safety and quality.
We’re only at the brink of what we can accomplish when our technologists partner with our clinicians to develop solutions that enhance patient care and make our caregivers’ lives easier.
