HDW204 Enhancing Healthcare Efficiency with Best Practice Software: A Comprehensive Review

Hello everyone, we will be looking into the “Best practice Software” that claims to be trailblazer in practice management and helps the healthcare provider to focus on their patients. I have chosen this software as it has time saving property and reduces errors that are generated by manual practices. It has financial tools and options that provide insights on the practices done in healthcare settings, driving growth and long-term outcomes.

What is a web-based health record technology platform?

As you know that with digitization in the modern era, the use of Electronic Health Records (EHR) has brought drastic change to independent physician practice. The EHR is developed so that the healthcare practitioner has access to patient’s medical information and can collaborate with other healthcare professionals. It is used as a tool to track follow-ups after a visit to the doctor (Divyeshkumar, 2024).

As stated by Mañas-García et al.(2021), Web-based EHR is a cloud-based system that does not need an internal server, here data is stored in external servers that are accessed with any device that runs on an internet connection. It is different from server-based EHR, as the data is stored here on a personal server.

As we are continuously developing in this age of technology , I think Web based EHR is revolutionary as server based system requires installation of particular hardware's and software in the hospitals or care centers , and it is often catered with separate IT department for management. Where web based softwares do not have such protocols as they have low monthly or yearly licensing cost. They also offer better client support and their vendor companies have better built in security. Also, these softwares do not need maintenance teams or equipment's.

Best Web-based EHR Software:

Oloruntoba et al. (2024), state that EHR solutions help healthcare organizations, digitize paper records, including lab reports, medication records, patient records, medical trips, and more.

 It simplifies data entry by providing Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes so you can quickly record healthcare services without the need for manual entry.

The best web-based EHR software includes:

• athenahealth
• Cerner Polyclinic
• DrChrono
• EpicCare
• eClinicalWorks
• Best Software Practices

Where the Current Procedural Terminology codes are for doctors and healthcare professional, that is a uniform language for medical services and processes that streamline reports with accuracy and efficiency (Carlo et al.,2020).
