By replacing the manual paper-based record-keeping system with an electronic one, Parirenyatwa Hospital experienced a 40% reduction in paperwork. This translated into significant time savings for staff who no longer had to manage, file, and search for physical records. Administrative burdens were alleviated, enabling hospital personnel to focus more on direct patient care.

2. Improved Patient Care Coordination:

The introduction of the EHR system greatly improved care coordination across departments. Healthcare providers had centralized access to a patient’s complete medical history, treatment plans, and diagnostic results in real time. This led to a 25% improvement in patient care coordination, as physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals were able to collaborate more effectively, making faster and more informed decisions.

3. Enhanced Patient Outcomes:

The more efficient sharing of patient data, coupled with improved decision-making, contributed to better overall patient outcomes. Timely diagnoses, reduced errors, and personalized treatment plans were facilitated by the EHR system, leading to more positive health results.
