Abstract :
In this paper, the authors share their experiences implementing and using Electronic Health Records (EHR) technology. We present challenges commonly encountered when integrating EHR technology within the work flow of a healthcare setting. We offer a future-oriented view of what is needed to overcome obstacles and achieve systemic improvements in national healthcare. We discuss the role of Total Quality Management (TQM) in the healthcare setting.
