Reflect on Miller and colleagues’ research on new graduate preparedness in working with electronic medical records (EMR). What challenges and benefits do you anticipate, or have you experienced, when interfacing with the EMR? What strategies can you implement to ensure that you have a smooth transition in your documentation while using the EMR?

The benefits that can be anticipated include flexibility, quality, productivity, etc.

It should be noted that electronic medical record is a digital version of a patient's paper chart that is vital in helping in proper documentation and makes information to be available to the patients.

The benefits that can be anticipated when using the electronic medical record include flexibility, quality, productivity, etc. Some of the challenges include the technicalty that comes with its use. For a smooth transition, the cooperation of the patient is needed.

EMRs are electronic medical records that is a digital version of a patient's paper chart, helps in proper documentation and makes information to be available to the patients

Explanation:

EMR is a digital version of a patient's paper chart, it involves the collection of the patient medical record and electronically store the health information in a electronic form that will can be used for clinical or administrative purpose  instead of the traditional method. EMR takes the data such as the medical history, medications, diagnoses,allergies,immunization etc input into a software created for that purpose.

What challenges and benefits do you anticipate

EMRs offer tremendous benefits to improve productivity, quality, flexibility, save time in patients cares.

The benefit includes: Patient centeredness, safety, timeliness, accessibility, improved communication, efficiency and engagement etc.

With all the benefit EMRs face various challenges which affect it operations and implement by new graduate in working and interfacing with it:

Many new graduate experience physical burnout while working with EMR,

Employee resistance

Autonomy is another issue, between the graduate and the patients on how much information to gather,

Interoperability ,

Technicality in the software application,

Lack of training and communication,

Security gaps and regimentation.

Strategies to be implement to ensure a smooth transition in documentation while using the EMR?

To ensure a smooth transition while using EMR the following is needed:

Flexibility is required in transition from paper to digital records

Patient's cooperation and support important

Security ( especially cyber security) Data privacy

Ample training.

what are the choices?
