How do electronic health records (EHR) improve cancer care?
Electronic Health Records (EHR) are digital versions of patients' paper charts and have become instrumental in cancer care. They allow for the seamless sharing of patient information among healthcare providers, ensuring that all members of the care team have access to the most up-to-date information. This is particularly important for cancer patients, who often see multiple specialists. EHRs improve care coordination, reduce the risk of errors, and facilitate the monitoring of treatment progress.
