Few EHR development companies tweak software systems to cope with Ebola

Ebola outbreak is critical and countries are finding ways to fight with the virus. Some EHR developers have made enhancements in development systems to cope with this life-taking virus and improve patient’s health.

EHR development companies have started working on systems to make various enhancements to ensure best practices concerning the Ebola virus. Deadly Ebola virus outbreak was started from Africa and has entered into the USA, India and other countries in the world. Doctors and scientists are still not having antidote for this epidemic and thus, patients have to suffer alone.

With recent enhancements in the health IT community’s mobilization, doctors can now better identify Ebola patients using EHR system. Though doctors are still not accepting technology to identify Ebola risk as they think it will give uncertain results that can be dangerous for patient and his family.

Important things to consider to prevent Ebola:

Any physical contact should be avoided One should not intake Ebola infected patient’s food and drink Any transmission of fluids, blood through contact with infected bodily fluids should be avoided Avoid meat of infected animal Avoid contact with the bodily fluids of an Ebola infected person’s dead body.

How EHR system can help in treatment? Why doctors are fear to take risk of using them?

As we have said earlier, there is no official Ebola treatment available in healthcare. You can only take preventive measures (discussed above) to save yourself from Ebola virus reach. New EHR enhancements will help physicians to diagnose Ebola infected patient through which they can have an idea that whether the patient’s health is critical or can be treated at the center. The only thing is to ensure each staff member is using it aptly and entering data correctly in the record. The fear of wrong data collection and difficulty in use restrict physicians to outsource system from EHR development company to treat the patient.

With certain tweaks and enhancements, doctors can’t completely cure the Ebola virus, but it will help them to fight against the epidemic.
