 Amalga HIS Electronic Medical RecordsView and document your patient’s health experience all in one place
The move from paper recordkeeping to digital medical records is vital to promoting greater patient safety and efficiencies in healthcare. As the healthcare system becomes more fragmented and complex, paper charts only add to the problem. |
| Paper charts: Are often incomplete. Can get lost, or delayed, in transit from one department to another. Include handwritten documentation that may be illegible or easily misconstrued. Require human resources and hospital real estate for storage. Do not allow data to be searched, sorted, or analyzed, preventing intelligent decision making by clinical staff.
