But the information in EMRs doesn’t travel easily out of the practice. In fact, the patient’s record might even have to be printed out and delivered by mail to specialists and other members of the care team. In that regard, EMRs are not much better than a paper record (Garret and Seidman, 2011).

Besides the disadvantages of (EMR)’s the advantages pose great benefits to patient care and efficiency. The greater use of electronic medical records or health records can reduce wait times, of seeing doctors or waiting for test results. All staff would need to cohesively work out the technical challenges and software data. With sophisticated IT

I believe most offices will keep the paper charts in a very safe location or shred it. But I think because of the confidentiality that any and all information or records relating to patients is considered privileged. basically saying keeping all information about the patient confidential.

Just as with paper medical charts, security of the information is an issue to a lot of people and in its own way EMR’s take precaution in keeping people out of the charts that should not be there. Almost all EMR programs are equipped with password protection.

In the planning phase, priorities established with each team member and identification of roles and responsibilities defined. With monitoring the implementation process this team can provide information vital to the success of the organizational change. This group can establish realistic deadlines consistent with the project’s goals and available resources (Leibel, Currie, Gelowitz, Aldridge & Kuncewicz (2012). This team also can assist the organization in the additional needs that may be necessary for the success of this change. According to Leibel, Currie, Gelowitz, Aldridge, and Kuncewicz (2012), “The team should make every effort to make sure the EMR process model’s the current paper practices. An electronic document that resemble the existing paper documents will require fewer changes for staff” (p. 92). When making the conversion to EMR system, the team of representatives (doctors, nurses, and other leadership staff) including selected frontline staff members who will collaborate by identifying potential improvements to workflow, safety, and quality. Creating time to get feedback from stakeholders on the draft documents will help the potential success of the change process. This gives the designated team members the needed information to make needed changes that will assist in making the system more user-friendly for everyone involved.
