One medical record – two benefits

The implementation of electronic medical records at medical facilities in the West Hai Phong area has brought practical benefits to both patients and medical staff.

Electronic medical records facilitate patients in the medical examination and treatment process when information and medical examination and treatment history are digitized.

Convenience for patients

Going for a prenatal check-up in the last days of her pregnancy at Hai Duong Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Ms. Pham Thi Huong in Cam Giang commune saw many changes in the examination process at the hospital. Instead of taking a number, declaring and submitting information at the counter, Ms. Huong was instructed to use the automatic medical examination registration counter. Her previous examination results were also stored online. With just a few searches, the doctors grasped her previous health status to have a basis for assessment during this examination.

Ms. Huong said: “When I go to the doctor, I no longer have to bring paper medical records. I just need to bring my ID card or a smartphone with the VNeID application installed so that doctors can look up all the information. I find the digitization of medical records both quick and convenient.”

Doctors at Hai Duong Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital can easily search for patient information when electronic medical records are deployed.

Ms. Pham Thi Hoa in Tran Lieu Ward, who regularly visits Kinh Mon Medical Center for medical examinations, has also noticed the changes every day at this medical facility. Previously, every time she had a test or an X-ray, Ms. Hoa had to keep the paper results. If she was unlucky enough to lose or misplace them, even if the results were still valid, Ms. Hoa still had to do it again, wasting time and money. Currently, Kinh Mon Medical Center has implemented electronic medical records. All patient information is digitized, making it convenient for people.

“I find it very convenient to have an electronic medical record. Doctors only need to look it up to get full information about previous examinations, instead of having to ask in detail like before,” Ms. Hoa said with satisfaction.

Convenient for doctors to manage and monitor

Electronic medical records are a breakthrough in digital transformation of the healthcare industry with many advantages over traditional paper medical records. Not only does it facilitate patients when they come to see a doctor, but electronic medical records also play an important role in improving the effectiveness of medical examination and treatment by medical staff.

According to Master, Doctor Do Manh Tung, Deputy Head of the Planning and Command Department (Hai Duong Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital), since the hospital applied electronic medical records, all medical examination and treatment processes have been digitized, no need for documents or books. Electronic medical records have a legal basis and function equivalent to paper medical records. All health information and medical history of patients who have come to the hospital for treatment are fully and confidentially stored. Doctors can access the patient's medical records very conveniently with full information to come up with appropriate treatment regimens. On the other hand, electronic medical records also contribute to cost savings when test and imaging results do not have to be printed on paper.

Hai Duong Children's Hospital is one of the leading medical facilities in Hai Phong City in implementing electronic medical records. To implement electronic medical records synchronously and smoothly, the hospital prepares a guaranteed technical infrastructure. Doctor CK II Nguyen Van Hai, Director of Hai Duong Children's Hospital, assessed that not only does it bring many benefits to patients and doctors directly examining and treating patients, but electronic medical records also help reporting and statistics to be quick and convenient. Electronic medical records are also a powerful tool to support management and operation when the hospital's medical examination and treatment situation is always fully and promptly updated.

The West Hai Phong area currently has 12 medical facilities implementing electronic medical records, including 4 city-level hospitals and 8 regional medical centers.

These are the Hospitals: Hai Duong General Hospital, Hai Duong Lung Hospital, Hai Duong Children's Hospital, Hai Duong Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital and 8 Medical Centers: Kinh Mon, Thanh Ha, Ninh Giang, Tu Ky, Kim Thanh, Gia Loc, Cam Giang, Chi Linh.
