Abstract:
Information systems have been driving technological advances in healthcare, especially over the past two decades. Digital health is transforming care by emphasizing efficiency, accessibility, and integrating technology at every stage of the patient journey. The Electronic Health Record (EHR), a software used in hospitals or clinics, emerges as a cornerstone in this transformation by consolidating medical data to facilitate care coordination. This integration promises to enhance the quality of care and the patient-healthcare professional relationship, while presenting practical challenges such as increased documentation. In this article, we explore various aspects of the EHR, addressing its challenges and potential adaptations in our practice.
