Slide 1: Title slide Advantages of Using Electronic Health Records (EHRs) to Store Patient Information

Slide 2: Introduction Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are digital versions of patient medical records. EHRs have many advantages over paper-based records. This presentation will discuss the functions and advantages of using EHRs and explore several documents found in patient records.

Slide 3: Functions of EHRs EHRs offer a variety of functions, including:

• Recording patient medical history, diagnoses, medications, and allergies
• Tracking test results, including laboratory and imaging studies
• Providing decision support tools to guide providers in making the best treatment choices for patients
• Facilitating communication between healthcare providers and patients
• Offering patients secure access to their medical records

Slide 4: Advantages of EHRs EHRs have many advantages over paper-based records, including:

• Increased efficiency: EHRs enable healthcare providers to easily access and share patient information, which can save time and improve patient care.
• Improved accuracy: EHRs can reduce errors that occur with paper records, such as illegible handwriting or lost charts.
• Enhanced patient safety: EHRs can help identify potential drug interactions or other medical errors, and can also help prevent medical identity theft.
• Cost savings: EHRs can help reduce costs by reducing the need for paper and physical storage space.

Slide 5: Patient Records Several documents are found in patient records. These documents serve different purposes, including:

• Patient Demographics: This form contains basic information about the patient, including name, address, and contact information.
• Medical History: This document contains information on past medical problems, surgeries, and current medical conditions.
• Medication List: This form lists all medications the patient is taking, including dosage and frequency.
• Progress Notes: These are notes written by healthcare providers during a patient’s visit, including information on the patient’s current condition and treatment plan.

Slide 6: Patient Demographics The patient demographics form contains basic information about the patient, including:

• Name
• Address
• Phone Number
• Emergency contact
• Insurance information

Slide 7: Medical History The medical history form contains information on past medical problems, surgeries, and current medical conditions. This document is important for healthcare providers to understand a patient’s overall health status and identify any potential risk factors.

Slide 8: Medication List The medication list form lists all medications the patient is taking, including dosage and frequency. This document is important for healthcare providers to ensure that there are no potential drug interactions or side effects from combining multiple medications.

Slide 9: Progress Notes The progress notes form contains information on the patient’s current condition and treatment plan. This document is important for healthcare providers to monitor patient progress, communicate with other providers, and ensure that the patient receives appropriate care.

Slide 10: Workflow from Check-In to Check-Out The workflow using an EHR system is streamlined, and the steps include:

1. Patient check-in: The patient provides their demographic information, insurance details, and reason for their visit.
2. Provider assessment: The healthcare provider reviews the patient’s medical history, medications, and progress notes. They may also order lab work or imaging studies if necessary.
3. Treatment plan: The provider develops a treatment plan, which may include medications, referrals, or other interventions.
4. Check-out: The patient is provided with a summary of their visit and any instructions for follow-up care. The provider documents the visit in the patient’s EHR.

Slide 11: Benefits of Workflow with EHR The benefits of using an EHR for workflow include:

• Efficiency: EHRs reduce the need for paper-based forms and allow for quick and easy
