Patient outcomes in cancer care can be significantly impacted by the effective use of EHRs. Here’s how:
Early Detection and Diagnosis: EHRs facilitate the early detection of cancer through integrated screening programs and alert systems. Personalized Treatment Plans: They help in developing personalized treatment plans based on comprehensive patient data, including genetic information. Reduced Errors: Electronic prescribing and decision support systems help in reducing medication errors and adverse drug interactions. Enhanced Follow-up Care: EHRs support structured follow-up care plans, ensuring that patients receive continuous and consistent care after initial treatment.
