2. Shift to EHRs
• Over the last decade or so, investment from the
Government in the healthcare sector has enabled
more doctors and hospitals to shift to Electronic
Health Records (EHRs) software, but it still remains a
tough challenge
• But are we closer to realizing HITECH’s goal of
making the healthcare industry better by the
utilization of technology?

3. Ways to make EHR data patient centric
• More integration of users
– All users of EHR system must be given more rights and
permission to use the software. When integration of users
will increase, it will make it difficult for people with no IT
systems to survive
• Integration of settings
– Ambulatory and enterprise settings need to work together
in liaison in order to communicate better. Without this, the
clinicians will not be able to get a clear picture of patients
nor will they be able to provide better care

4. Ways to make EHR data patient centric
• Timely documentation
– In order to make technology work across all networks
flawlessly, timely documentation of vital patient data is of
crucial importance
• Interoperability
– If an EHR system is not able to meaningfully communicate
with other entities in the healthcare model, it will be
impossible to move the industry forward on modern lines
