In what ways are electronic medical records different from paper medical records?
What will be an ideal response?
Because the EMR is electronic, it is not limited to physical storage. As a result, review of the EMR does not have to be accomplished at the point of creation. The EMR can be viewed by authorized individuals anywhere in the world.
The EMR can be interfaced to other electronic systems so that various laboratory or radiologic results can be instantly updated.
While increased access to patient data via the EMR is usually helpful, controlling access can be more difficult than with a traditional medical record. This can create privacy issues.
