The document summarizes a study that assessed the effects of implementing an electronic medical record (EMR) system at a healthcare clinic. A survey was conducted with 32 patients before and after the implementation of the EMR system PracticeFusion. The survey found a decrease in neutral and dissatisfied patients, and an increase in very satisfied patients after implementation. Future strategies identified include conducting more patient surveys and providing education to patients on how to use EMR systems.
