How EHR Optimization Improves the Patient Experience

Providers and patients alike reap the benefits of integration and interoperability. When clinicians enjoy better communication and coordination among care teams (and fewer manual processes), providers can deliver high-quality care more efficiently, which helps alleviate clinician burnout and creates a better experience for patients.With health information exchange, providers have access to patients’ complete medical history, including accurate, up-to-date information on patients’ healthcare visits, diagnoses, tests, medications and medication allergies. Such information, when easily accessible, can lead to more accurate and effective diagnoses and treatment so patients receive better care.Interoperability allows healthcare organizations not only to share information — both internally and with other organizations.
