Load balancing EHR for Healthier Healthcare IT Applications
Optimizing Electronic Healthcare Records (EHR) means maximizing availability, performance, and security – and that’s where ecoprintQ and Loadbalancer.org come in.
EHR is prevalent in North America. In the US, if you encounter a health emergency while on vacation or a business trip, you no longer have to carry your pill bottles or produce hard-to-remember drug names to the doctor you see in the new city.
Chances are that after asking a few generic questions, the doctor would already have access to all the information he needs, including your prescription, right on his mobile, or computer screen – thanks to EHR systems that help coordinate care among multiple healthcare providers, giving them access to a patient’s most recent health data.
What is an EHR?
Simply put, an EHR is the paper chart of a patient presented in a digital format, holding information related to a patient’s medical history including medications, allergies, diagnoses, treatment plans, immunization dates, radiology images, and test results from laboratories. Built to go beyond standard clinical data collected in a provider’s office, EHR systems cover a broader view of patient care, thereby performing a vital role in the health IT infrastructure.
These systems are able to:
- contain a patient’s end-to-end medical history
- allow providers access to evidence-based tools that can be used to make meaningful decisions about patient care
- automate and streamline provider workflow in a healthcare setting
The top five benefits of EHR:
- Offering healthcare providers with the ability to easily share and access medical records through network-connected, enterprise-wide record management platforms
- Minimizing the chances of data replication or inaccuracies since there is only a single medical record
- Generating timely appointment reminders and additional warnings to prevent mistakes and keep care on the right path
- Better care in emergencies by providing all test results and notes over time for evidence-based patient recommendations
- Increasing the scale of medical research and advancement, as data-based health information can be sourced and used for a much larger pool of resources during medical research and testing
