Electronic Medical Record (EMR)
A computer-based record containing health care information that meets provider needs for real-time data access and evaluation in medical care. This record may contain some, but not necessarily all, of the information that is in an individual's paper-based medical record. Typically, not readily accessible by other healthcare providers.

A motivation for healthcare entities to implement this technology derives from the need for medical outcome studies, more efficient care, speedier communication among providers and management of health plans.

Orion Health's EHR solution provides healthcare organizations with an accurate, permanent and centrally accessible electronic file containing key aspects of an individual patient's medical history.

Orion Health's EHR solution delivers:

  • Increased patient safety: All information about the patients existing conditions, allergies and drug intolerances is available when Physicians need it, where they need it so that they can make the best decisions for their patients.
  • Increased efficiency: A single source of accurate patient data means Physicians don't need to spend time logging in to different specialist clinical systems or contacting other healthcare institutions for information.
  • Trend and data analysis: A central clinical repository of clinical information means that information can be mined and analyzed to contribute to more effective healthcare delivery in the future, and can give a better understanding of trends, patterns and epidemiology in public health.
