So, What Will the Future of EHRs Look Like?
/
The Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association has put together a task force to try and tackle the issues facing current EHR systems, according to Healthcare IT News.
So, what will the future of EHRs look like?
Well, hopefully less like Windows ‘95 and more something more like a google drive. The EHR of the future will:
- Be compatible with other operating systems
- Not only allow for, but also promote innovation
- Simplify billing
- Enable documents to be tailored to individual's needs and extend beyond acute care management
To good to be true?
Officially, only time will tell. However, with frustrated doctors, frustrated consumers, and a frustrated government, hopefully the companies causing this frustration will be able to meet the consumer’s needs in the next five years.
