EHR adoption

EHR adoption refers to healthcare providers switching from traditional paper records to electronic health records (EHRs). This technology allows doctors and nurses to securely store, access, and share patient information digitally, improving coordination, accuracy, and efficiency in care. Adoption rates vary, with some providers fully integrated and others still transitioning. While EHRs can enhance patient safety and streamline processes, challenges include costs, training, and ensuring privacy. Overall, EHR adoption aims to modernize healthcare, making patient information more accessible and care more coordinated.
