Electronic health records (EHRs) significantly enhance patient outcomes by centralizing and digitizing patient data, allowing for streamlined access to medical history, medications, and treatment plans. Healthcare providers can quickly retrieve and share critical information, leading to more timely and informed decisions. EHRs facilitate better communication among care teams, reduce errors, and promote coordinated care. Additionally, they empower patients through access to their own health information, encouraging active participation in their care and resulting in improved engagement and health management.
