EMR’s
Contains the digital version of patient's medical records and treatment in one practice.
EMRs can do e-prescriptions, appointment reminders, and medication tracking. E-prescriptions ensures the accuracy and efficiency during the processing of medications. This also reduces medication errors and enhances patient safety.
The general capabilities of an EMR system for physicians
Compliance with electronic confidentiality requirements through several levels of access rights for different specialists. Convenient management of all hospital records from a single platform: data entry, editing, search, and retrieval in minutes. Simple document flow within the hospital/clinic, which saves staff time on finding the correct data, processing it, and making clinical decisions. Maintaining communication by providing reminders (about the next visit, scheduled examination, etc.), warnings, and recommendations.

The general capabilities of an EMR system for patients
This offers patients more efficient and quicker care
The EMR tracks and stores all medical information and medical history on a secured database.
Medication errors have significantly decreased because of the EMR system.
Patients can access their records, view prescriptions and follow recommended lifestyle changes.
Improve treatment and diagnosis, and better patient health data security and privacy.
Compare and contrast the difference between EHR and EMR
EHRs are maintained by more than one provider. EMRs are handled and maintained by one single provider.
EHRs are designed to be interoperable, which means they can share and use data with each other between different systems, both locally and internationally. This is very important because this allows providers to access medical records, labs, and imaging, which can help them come up with the best form of treatment for the patient. EMRs cannot.
Analyze HIPAA and security concerns for an EMR system
HIPAA ensures the privacy and security of patient's health records.
Concerns over the safety of patient health information have arisen from the growth of EHRs, mobile devices, medical identity theft, and the increased exchange of data between organizations, clinicians, and federal agencies.
Security breaches still occur despite the implementation of security measures that comply with HIPAA.
