Will cloud-based EHRs make others obsolete?

Answer 1

I believe that Cloud based EHRs would make the conventional EHRs obsolete. The point is, EHRs are meant to facilitate physicians in both recording and retrieving information at all times and cloud based EHRs allow the doctors to do so whenever and wherever needed. Since, all the records and essential information is present on the cloud the doctor does not need to get into the hassle of installing the software and other related issues. All they need is a simple internet connection and the possibilities become endless. Considering the information technology is positively affecting the world, and is likely to do so with the passage of time, the cloud based EHRs would certainly make others obsolete.
