EMR Value of EMR: Performance Decision making Error elimination Cost Safety Problem solving Research
EMR Value of EMR: Improve quality and convenience of patient care Quick access to patient records from anywhere Enhance decision support, clinical alerts, reminders, compliance with practice guidelines Legible, complete documentation Interface with labs, registries, radiology systems, Safe more reliable prescribing Reduction in medical errors Source: www.Healthit.gov
EMR Value of EMR: Increase patient participation in their care Improve accuracy of diagnoses and health outcomes Improve care coordination Increase practice efficiencies and cost savings Improved service and satisfaction Patient satisfaction User satisfaction Less stress Improved job satisfaction Quality of documentation Source: www.Healthit.gov
CPOE Definition: Computerized provider order entry (CPOE) is an electronic process that allows a health care provider to enter orders electronically and to manage the results of those orders.

Picture Archiving and Communication system (PACS) Definition A system which enables images such as x-rays and scans to be stored electronically and viewed on screens, so health professionals can access the information and compare it with previous images more efficiently Source: MHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement , http://www.institute.nhs.uk/
PACS Value of PACS: Performance Decision making Error elimination Cost Safety Problem solving Research
PACS Value of PACS: Faster Diagnosis and treatment Virtual consultations Better decision-making It removes all the costs associated with patient transfer or cost of hard film and releases space used for storage Can be linked to the electronic patient record Remote access Will eliminate problem of lost films Source: Maximizing Patient Safety and Business Advantages of PACS Article, www.dominator.com
