Initial response of 200-250 words. Due: 11:59 PM ET Wednesday of this week Respond to two classmates (100-150 words) Due: 11:59 PM ET Sunday of this week One advantage to the implementation of the Electronic Health Records is that there can be instantaneous obtainment of the accurate medical history of the patient (from different hospitals in which the patient had been admitted) leading to provision of high-quality care to the patient (Niles, 2020). Therefore, any chronic disease or weakness in the body because of any previous operation, etc. can be conveniently identified in quick time leading to provision of required quality healthcare services and facilities to the patient. If there is absence of EHR, there can be time wasted to find out the problems in the bodies of the patients.
