The purpose of this paper is to discuss how Electronic Medical Records (EMR), affects healthcare delivery. I will discuss the positives and negatives this issue has on healthcare and how it effects the cost and quality for healthcare services. In addition, I will identify any potential trade-offs to cost or quality. Lastly, I will discuss how the EMR affects my job as well as any challenges or opportunities this issue presents.

Instead of using paper based records, technology allows physicians to use the electronic medical record (EMR) that improves the quality of programs. By using the EMR, this is not easy nor is it low cost. Physicians’ have to use this method as their daily task. There are some barriers that has been identified with the use of the EMR by the physicians we will discuss. There will be some suggestions made that might can help the policy interventions to overcome the barriers. This will include the support system of work/practice including electronic clinical data exchange, and financial rewards for quality improvement. (Sim, 2004)

I take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks and deep gratitude to all those people who extended their whole hearted co-operation and have helped me in completing this project successfully.

For centuries, paper-based records were the only way of communicating patient’s medical records throughout the health care system.

Dr. Clem McDonald from the Regenstrief Institute stated that his “goal was to solve three problems, to eliminate the logistical problems of the paper records by making clinical data immediately available to authorized users wherever they are – no more unavailable or undecipherable clinical records; to reduce the work of clinical book keeping required to manage patients – no more missed diagnoses when laboratory evidence shouts its existence, no more forgetting about required preventive care; and to make the informational ‘gold’ in the medical record accessible to clinical, epidemiological, outcomes and management research.”(website McDonald, Clement). EMR is said to benefit the healthcare system by improving quality, safety, and efficiency of care. “With this in mind, the benefits will be presented in terms of access; quality, safety, and efficiency of care delivery” (Health informatics book). The writer herself has been able to experience the benefits and disadvantages of using EMR. Working as a school nurse and a skilled home health nurse it is required to document electronically. Electronic medical records has benefits and
