Overview
Electronic medical records are digital systems that store, manage, and transmit patient health information, replacing traditional paper-based documentation in healthcare settings. Research published in Public Health International examines multiple dimensions of electronic medical record implementation and utilization across diverse healthcare contexts. Studies have investigated user perceptions and factors affecting data quality in public health facilities, revealing challenges in maintaining accurate health information systems in resource-limited settings. The journal has explored how artificial intelligence integration with electronic health records can enhance clinical efficiency and equity in healthcare delivery. Additional research has addressed the practical application of electronic medical records in specific clinical scenarios, including models for identifying actionable findings from computed tomography scans in emergency departments, retrospective hospital-based disease surveillance, and patient screening protocols for preventive interventions in primary care settings. These investigations highlight both the opportunities and barriers associated with electronic medical record systems, from technical data quality issues to workflow integration challenges. Understanding these factors is essential for healthcare systems seeking to leverage digital health information effectively while ensuring that electronic records serve their fundamental purpose of improving patient care, supporting clinical decision-making, and advancing public health surveillance and research.
