Advantages

The benefits of employing these systems, which fall into three categories – clinical, organizational, and societal outcomes-are listed by Menachemi and Collum (2011) and can be categorizedised as follows (Boothe, 2020).

Clinical Advantages

Positive clinical outcomes include the absence of preventable harm to patients, an increased standard of care for the client, and a decrease in medical negligence and better patient protection measures as a result of all of this (Boothe, 2020). EHRs have been associated with competence and persuasiveness in healthcare for the reduction of unnecessary laboratory investigation, which lessens the likelihood of delayed detection of disease condition and also delayed in their treatment (Boothe, 2020)

Organizational Advantages

Positive clinical outcomes include the absence of preventable harm to patients, an increased standard of care for the client, and a decrease in medical negligence and better patient protection measures as a result of all of this (Boothe, 2020). EHRs have been associated with competence and persuasiveness in healthcare for the reduction of unnecessary laboratory investigation, which lessens the likelihood of delayed detection of disease condition and also delayed in their treatment (Boothe, 2020).

Societal Advantages

Last but not least, better research results in greater population health, which leads to better societal benefit of EHRs (Boothe, 2020).
