Electronic medical records (EMRs) can reduce medical errors and potentially improve patient safety [1]. An in-depth review of the biomedical literature demonstrated a positive impact of EMRs in outpatient settings for approximately half the outcomes measured [2]. One-year after EMR implementation, inpatient health care providers reported higher scores for communication, job satisfaction, patient safety, quality of data and organizational support. [3]. In the United States, the federal government is investing billions of dollars to promote widespread implementation of EMRs by health care systems and providers [4].
