9 Electronic Health Records (EHRs)-EHRs allow doctors to electronically keep track of your health information and may enable them to see it when you have a problem even if their office is closed. EHRs also make it easier for your doctor to share information with specialists, so that specialists who need your information have it available when it's needed. ICD-10 transition 2013-ICD-9-CM to ICD-10-CM/ PCS will bring significant benefits, including clearer and more complete descriptions of diseases as well as more precise details of procedures. This more specific information will improve medical record accuracy, thus promoting patient safety.
