History of Electronic Health Records

The difficulty of maintaining and sharing patients’ medical information among providers has been eradicated by the use of Electronic Health Records (EHR) Software. EHR has facilitated removing medical errors as well – here’s how the all useful health information technology came into being.

What sparked the beginning of the reliable Health Information Technology of EHR?

Medical industry and the professionals involved in it have always been on the lookout for time and effort-saving tools for delivering improved health care to patients. After all, the primary concern of the noble health care service is to safeguard and enhance patients’ health. Hence, any useful process or tool that helps betterment of their professional performance has always been welcome.

The Initial Stages of Electronic Health Records Software

Enter Health Information Technology. The various spheres of modern life in which technology has its footprints have all improved or excelled – medical industry included. In the late 1960s, there appeared a revolutionary concept of health evaluation through logical programming computer software, initiated by a hospital in Utah, USA. After a hiatus, during the late 1980s, the U.S. Government started investing huge amount on developing a composite health care system for its medical centers. This laid the foundation for the development of the Electronic Health Records Software System that won world wide recognition and implementation in the later years.

How Electronic Health Records Software System Gained Momentum

During the initial stage of the new millennium, the general public as well as medical professionals clearly understood the importance and necessity of a comprehensive medical record management system that would serve health care facilities and patients in furnishing patient medical information meticulously in order to achieve the best possible health care outcomes.

From the year 2001 till 2011, Electronic Health Records Software adoption witnessed a substantial growth, namely, from 18% to a hefty 57%. Later, by the year 2013, the number of clinicians using this health care software crossed 72% and is still found to be growing exponentially.
