At the forefront of HIT are Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and Electronic Health Records (EHR), helping steer medical practitioners, medical health professionals and patients into the 21st century.While making the true sense out of new healthcare regulations are often difficult, it is true that a powerful EMR can only underpin these regulations and practices. Whether it's the ebbing Meaningful Use program or the new Quality Payment Program under MACRA, a provider can only leverage the true benefits if they have powerful EMRs in place. EMRs do away with traditional silos and bring to the fore a much needed integration of disparate data sets that will help substantiate comprehensive medical expertise. It helps increase the care quality and make patients at the centre of care delivery. However, on the flipside, many healthcare providers still have concerns around privacy, security, and disruption of workflows while making their transition into new EMRs. While EMR vendors are doing their best to align their solutions to the requirements and regulations, it is imperative for the healthcare executives to understand benefits and challenges of EMRs and the ways to eliminate them.Encompassing the finer details of these developments, we present to you the views and insights of some of the leading practitioners and innovators in the field of EHR-EMR, revolutionizing the healthcare technology terrain.
