Benefits of EHRchain
A greater and more seamless flow of information within a digital health care infrastructure, created by electronic health records, blockchain and industry standards can transform the way care is delivered and compensated.
With EHRchain, It solves the problem of the inability of EHR systems that cannot communicate with each other.
Improved Patient Care
Increase Patient Participation
Improved Care Coordination
Improved Diagnostics & Patient Outcomes
Practice Efficiencies and Cost Savings
Improved Patient Care
- Quick access to patient records from inpatient and remote locations for more coordinated, efficient care
- Enhanced decision support, clinical alerts, reminders, and medical information
- Interfaces with labs, registries, and other providers
- Eliminates need to fill out the same forms at each office visit
- Reliable point-of-care information and reminders notifying providers of important health interventions
- Patient portals with online interaction for providers
Increased Patient Participation
Providers and patients who share access to electronic health information can collaborate in informed decision making. Patient participation is especially important in managing and treating chronic conditions such as asthma, diabetes, and obesity.
Ensure high-quality care. With EHRchain, providers can give patients full and accurate information about all of their medical evaluations. It allows the patient to input up to date information on a daily, weekly, monthly, semi-annual basis. In so doing this can eliminate the need to update information on a paper form when coming to the office. This will decrease wait times, and can increase staff performance by inputting data prior to a visit.
Create an avenue for communication with their patients. With EHRchain, providers can provide information to their patients through patient portals tied into EHRchain. All information is stored in a Microsoft powered HealthVault.
Secured by Blockchain
Patient has complete control with granting and revoking access to their medical records. The blockchain helps secure these records and creates an immutable audit trail of all access.
Improved Care Coordination
EHRchain can decrease the fragmentation of care by improving care coordination. EHRchain has the potential to integrate and organize patient health information and facilitate its instant distribution among all authorized providers involved in a patient’s care. For example, EHR alerts can be used to notify providers when a patient has been in the hospital, allowing them to proactively follow up with the patient.
With EHRchain, every provider can have the same accurate and up-to-date information about a patient. This is especially important with patients who are:
- Seeing multiple specialists
- Receiving treatment in emergency settings
- Making transitions between care settings
- Better availability of patient information can reduce medical errors and unnecessary tests.
Better availability of information can also reduce the chance that one specialist will not know about an unrelated (but relevant) condition being managed by another specialist.
Better care coordination can lead to better quality of care and improved patient outcomes.
Improved Diagnostics & Patient Outcomes
When health care providers have access to complete and accurate information, patients receive better medical care. EHRchain can improve the ability to diagnose diseases and reduce—even prevent—medical errors, improving patient outcomes.
With EHRchain, providers can have reliable access to a patient’s complete health information. This comprehensive picture can help providers diagnose patients’ problems sooner.
Practice Efficiencies and Cost Savings
- Reduced transcription costs
- Reduced chart pull, storage, and re-filing costs
- Reduced medical errors through better access to patient data and error prevention alerts
- Improved patient health/quality of care through better disease management and patient education
- Time savings with easier centralized chart management, condition-specific queries, and other shortcuts
- Reduction of time and resources needed for manual charge entry resulting in more accurate billing and reduction in lost charges
