| As paper-based patient records are proving increasingly inadequate to meet the modern information needs, RMI has introduced Electronic Medical Record keeping. This will not only improve doctor's access to patient information but will ensure the accuracy of information contained in the record. It will bring in a substantial improvement over paper records in areas of patient care and outcome management and follow up. Quality of care will improve by providing point-of-purchase reminders and clinical alerts. In addition it will help interfacing with key aspects of care provision; laboratory ordering/result retrieving, prescription writing, test/document imaging, correspondence generation, consultation and referral notes, thereby generating a database designed to substantiate the effectiveness of medical care. Electronic medical records are by nature more interrogative for clinical audits and will help in clinical governance.
In the near future , these electronic records will be accessible from various locations allowing different service providers to work on the same record simultaneously.
