Abstract

Electronic health records (EHRs) offer digitally stored healthcare information during an individual’s lifetime with the purpose of evidence-based research, continuity of care, prior health care, and educational resources. EHR’s contain diagnostic test, such as laboratory values and radiological images, treatments, therapies, medication administration, patient identifying information, and legal forms. The barriers and facilitators of electronic medical or health records (EMR or EHRs) are designated to offer data for providers and caregivers working in the local mobile health units in South Georgia. The project determined the readiness, barriers, needs assessment, and facilitators for electronic health records within the rural communities with the intent to obtain patient information, delivering quality care.
