How an Electronic Health Record Can Help You

“Health is wealth,” a well-known fact in a world where your health determines your day-to-day life.  There are many ways to keep your health in check. Some exercise daily, some eat what they deem to be healthy, while others take supplements. But with a healthcare-related app, you can easily get health-related services that can help you, and your clinician.

Healthcare-related apps have software that can keep records of your medical history. These are called electronic medical records (EMR). On the other hand, electronic health record (EHR) software further helps you with its more encompassing benefits.


Complete Health History


With an EHR, a patient’s record is complete. Unlike an EMR, where it only shows the patient’s medical records, EHR gives a more comprehensive report on their health. Having an EHR can mean having a complete health history that can help your doctor give you a more precise diagnosis.

Information Sharing


One of the benefits of having an EHR is the ability of the software to share your medical records to laboratories, clinics, and other doctors that do not have your records. With information sharing in the mix,  you can also lessen the chance of having duplicate information or tests- meaning you can save time and money.

Accurate and Precise


As previously stated, EHR software helps the patient and doctor obtain complete information on the patient’s overall health. Having a complete record and information can greatly heighten the precision and accuracy of a diagnosis. Plus, there will be no more scribbles and illegible handwriting with these apps. With fewer misunderstandings and a complete record, a reliable and safer diagnosis can be achieved.

Healthcare-related apps give you the opportunity to be healthier. Electronic medical records and electronic history records that are under these apps have the necessary software that can help you keep track of your health and gives your doctor the appropriate and necessary information for a precise diagnosis. With health in the bag, don’t forget to keep track of it efficiently.

The Secret That Most of Your Patients Don’t Tell You

Image
Patients sometimes overlook the effects of their actions in their overall health. They always seem to depend on the best doctor, the most expensive care or the best technology to treat them when they get sick. One of the most dangerous choices that patients create themselves, besides what they choose to put in their body, is choosing to hide their medical history. There are a lot of reasons why people don’t tell you their past medical history: They think that treatment will be more expensive  They are worried about insurance experience  They fear judgment from their healthcare providers Or... They simply don’t remember   We, as healthcare professionals, already know the importance of keeping track of medical records (with tools like medical apps for Android and Apple ), and especially presenting them to their physicians when future illnesses come up, as it serves as a path for doctors to come up with accurate diagnoses.

Common Patient Complaints and How to Solve Them

Image
The medical industry has a singular goal: to cater and provide quality care for as many people as much as possible. However, there is a downside to that goal, often causing patients to be thrown in a situation of unease. Through the years, the industry came up with various solutions to ease the problems that raised patient complaints. EHRs or patient record management software was established, and apps were created to assist special patients. However, it still didn’t solve the majority of the complaints. Common Patient Complaints Include:  Scheduling Difficulties Patients who need care as soon as possible usually have a problem with scheduling. There’s not really much that can be done to control the operations of a busy hospital, but it’s definitely something that medical organizations should learn to improve, manage and organize. Disagreements with Staff Before a patient gets to your clinic, he or she has to get through different stages in which they had to deal with pe
