Functions of an EMR: a place to contain a patient’s personal medical history, dictations, tests results, financial information, and comes with challenges: namely public policies, big investment from the federal government for reimbursement to providers to implement EMR (Brooks, 2010). EMR operates as a way for the health care industry to enhance patient care, ease of tasking for providers, perform better for preventative care, lead into the advancements in technological health care corporation (Brooks, 2010).
A major purpose of an EMR asserts Brooks to foster communications of one’s information [medical records] to providers [health care] to view someone’s personal information (2010).
