Challenges and Opportunity of Electronic Medical Record System (EMR) in Bangladesh

Abstract

To broadly examine the Opportunities and Challenges of electronic medical record system in Bangladesh. There have lots of opportunities and challenges to implement the EMR system. Also, there have potential health benefits of health information system (HIS), this paper identified the challenges and helped the authority to considering those challenges as well as opportunities during the implementation of EMR system in Bangladesh. Also compares health care with the use of IT in other industries. It estimates potential savings and costs of widespread adoption of electronic medical record (EMR) systems, model’s important health and safety benefits, and concludes that effective EMR implementation and networking could eventually save more money by improving health care system efficiency and that savings while increasing health and other social benefits. However, this is unlikely to be realized without related changes to the electronic medical record system. The developing world faces a series of health care crises that threaten the lives of millions of people. Lack of infrastructure and trained, experienced staff are considered important barriers to scaling up treatment for these diseases. In this paper we explain why electronic Medical Record (EMR) system are important in many healthcare projects in the developing world. We discuss pilot projects demonstrating that such systems are possible and can expand to manage hundreds of thousands of patients.
