The EMR

• Records can be viewed by various doctors
• Doctors feel more comfortable
• Can transfer information from one doctor to another doctor, eliminates the issues when transferring
• Records will be online, and doctors will have permission to look at whatever tests or records are there.
• Citizens should own EMRs because the individual can release the record to anyone, and can be maintained by the individual
• Very expensive, per office basis.

Evolving health care with EMR:

Health care managed with paper work is inefficient. Everyday, many people die from wrong medical care. The solution to this problem is the EMR. EMR almost completely eliminates the possibility of errors, such as wrong medical treatment. EMR decreases the amount of time needed to look up information, increases accuracy, and as a result also decreases the cost for the patient.
