What is an Electronic medical system?
An electronic medical system is a replacement of paper medical records. An EMR is all computer and network based. It gives hospitals, doctor offices and clinic an easier work space. EMR also provides the confidence of filing records more efficiently and correctly, without error. EMR replaces the need for unneeded and crowdedness of filing cabinets and paper files everywhere. It gives the workplace a more cleaner atmosphere, and is more private.
