  • Title: The electronic medical record in the surgical setting.
    Author: Roeder JA.
    Journal: AORN J; 2009 Apr; 89(4):677-82, 685-6. PubMed ID: 19348817.
    Abstract:
    The electronic medical record (EMR) has been used in Department of Veterans Affairs health care facilities since the mid 1980s. Health care reform is a top priority in the United States, and the adoption of a standardized EMR is a major component and cost-saving tool. From scheduling patients for surgical procedures to provider documentation and production of vital reports for the local facility and the National Veterans Health Administration office, the EMR is successful with less clinical overhead. Use of the EMR reduces redundant tests, medical errors, and improves hand-off communications.
