Electronic Medical Record, digital healthcare, hospital information systems, medical informatics, eHealthAbstract
Digital technologies offer the potential to transform health care. Electronic Medical Record (EMR) is used to make paperless computerized patient data in order to increase efficiency of hospital systems and reduce chances of human errors. Its level of implementation is usually assessed using an EMR Adoption Model (EMRAM).
