Abstract:
Electronic medical records (EMRs) are increasingly replacing paper records, and many residency program directors are interested in incorporating EMR systems into their clinics. The authors describe their experiences implementing EMRs in their family practice residency programs; the four programs are the Eau Claire Family Practice Residency Program, the Galveston Family Practice Residency Program, the Mayo-Scottsdale Residency Program, and the Wyoming Valley Family Practice Residency. The authors provide background information about each program and an overview of the EMR systems; they then describe the implementation processes, addressing training, integration with other software- and paper-based systems, security, costs, and effects on patient volume and staffing levels. Finally, they discuss the general benefits of and barriers to EMR-system implementations, and make recommendations for other programs considering implementing EMRs.

Purpose of Health Records II
Types of Records II: Educational and Administrative Records
Methods of Documentation I: Source-Oriented Records
In an SOR, each discipline involved in patient care maintains a separate medical record section. This record-keeping method enables easy tracking of patient progress and ensures healthcare staff have access to up-to-date information.
Key Attributes include the following:
Methods of Documentation II: POMR
Methods of Documentation VII: EMR
