📑 Electronic Health Records (EHR) have evolved over the last 60 years to improve patient care, minimize errors, and create cost efficiencies.
🕰️ In 1962, the first EHR was invented but was initially expensive and only affordable by the government. Later, electronic medical record systems were developed and widely used by hospitals and government institutions.
💽 The 1980s saw the development of the master patient index, a massive database for storing patient demographics and hospital admission and discharge information.
📅 The use of computers in healthcare was expected by the Institute of Medicine in 1991.
🔒 HIPAA was introduced in 1996, guaranteeing patient privacy rights.
💻 The introduction of health information technology in 2004 supported the adoption of electronic health records.
Electronic Health Records (EHRs) give patients control over their own data.
Future advancements include autonomous dictation, wearable devices for early illness detection, and predictive modeling for personalized care plans.
These advancements have the potential to greatly improve healthcare outcomes.
📝 The future of electronic health records (EHRs) is promising, as it will enable faster access to higher levels of care.
🌐 This is possible due to secure, reliable, and fast networks.
