Abstract:

By its very nature, an EMR (electronic medical record) is not subject to the physical limitations of a paper chart. Many clinics can access a patient’s EMR at once. EMRs are never in transit or waiting to be filed. For these reasons, using all-electronic records would greatly alleviate the problem of missing charts, and result in more efficient patient care.
