<\/p>\n
The main difference between EMRs and EHRs<\/strong> is that EMRs (Electronic medical records) are digital versions of paper charts that clinicians and healthcare workers use at the office, whereas EHRs (Electronic health records) are digital versions of patient charts, but it is a more detailed records of a patient\u2019s medical history.<\/p>\n With a lot of news coverage and changes in technology, the terms EMR and EHR are often mixed up, leading to some confusion.<\/p>\n Below we outline the major differences and some challenges healthcare workers may be facing in EMR and EHR printing<\/a>.<\/p>\n Electronic medical records are digital versions of paper charts that clinicians and healthcare workers use at the office. An EMR usually contains a patient\u2019s medical and treatment history in one area of healthcare practice.<\/p>\n One of the biggest problems with EMRs is that it doesn\u2019t transfer easily out of one area of a healthcare practice. This means when a patient\u2019s record needs to be seen by another healthcare practice, they need to be printed out and physically delivered to them.<\/p>\n Electronic health records are digital versions of a patient chart, but it is a more detailed record of a patient\u2019s medical history.<\/p>\n EHRs are designed to be shared with other medical providers so that authorized users can easily access a patient\u2019s records digitally from across different healthcare practices.<\/p>\n Interested in finding out more about printing solutions with EHR and EMR?

It also increases workflow by providing staff with easy access to patient data through a centralized electronic system.<\/p>\n Healthcare workers require fast, reliable, and secure delivery of all the different test results, patient records, armbands, and prescription labels they come across each day.<\/p>\n But with most healthcare organizations, face a complicated network of output platforms, devices, and applications, which often lead to increased printing costs<\/strong><\/a>, increased labor from the IT department, delays in user workflow, and decreased patient care.<\/p>\n Both EMR and EHR software is known for turning basic print management<\/strong><\/a> into a major pain point, as they place heavy demand on print environments in terms of hardware and user workflow.<\/p>\n While EMR and EHRs systems both store important patient information, they can\u2019t ensure important patient documents are printed where and when they are needed in a secure manner.<\/p>\n The more healthcare workers there are in a healthcare organization, the harder it becomes to deliver fast and reliable printing.<\/p>\n So how do healthcare organizations solve these EMR and EHR printing challenges?<\/p>\n There are several healthcare printing solutions<\/a> available that integrate fully with EMR and EHR software which improves upon many of their limitations.<\/p>\n When deployed together, printing software will not only streamline clinical document output by simplifying printer management but also lower costs and improve end-user workflow, allowing healthcare workers to give more time back to their patients.<\/p>\nWhat Are Electronic Medical Records (EMRs)<\/span><\/h2>\n
