Answer 1

Maintaining the electronic health record (EHR) and the appropriate flow of healthcare is important in a case where a healthcare provider is delayed on a task that will impact her coworkers' ability to complete their tasks or keep their patients updated.

Explanation:

Efficient and safe healthcare requires proper professional cooperation and communication along with team collaboration. A smooth transition of workflow is highly essential in healthcare practice a delay by one person should not affect the entire flow of care provided to the patient.

Delay in providing healthcare to a patient can be a very serious life-threatening issue. This delay by one person will also affect the co-worker’s work flow as well as capabilities.

Maintaining electronic health record is the best solution in such situations where all the healthcare providers can access the patient details to know about what is already done and what needs to be done to improve the patient’s health condition.

EHR can also be accessed by the patient to be updated about the healthcare he/she is receiving and about the status of his/her health condition.
