20249 citationsOpen accessUniversity of South Africa

Abstract

Increasing patient access to medical records for health care professionals may significantly improve patient health and well-being. The effectiveness of health care organizations' operations can also be increased through better health information systems. To lower medical errors and enhance patient outcomes, policy makers should provide financing and support for EHR adoption as a top priority. Health care administrators should also concentrate on providing staff with the training they need to operate these systems efficiently. Empirical surveys in other public and private hospitals can be used to further test the validated survey instrument.
