Problems in the Management of Electronic Medical Records at a Hospital and the Countermeasures

AbstractThe management of Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) is an important part of hospital information construction. Its application improves the medical quality, the work efficiency, and the collection, analysis and reporting of medical information. Since the implementation of the EMR system in the hospital in 2011, there have been problems such as the non-standardization of outpatient information, defects in the flow setting, inconsistency between the contents of the paper-based medical records and the EMRs, failure to achieve the quality control requirement, management being out of place, information construction lacking accordance with the standards of the Ministry of Health, lack of training, and other issues. We should perfect the system flow setting, optimize the information integration, and strengthen the training, to promote the gradual development of EMRS and to make it better for clinical services.
