Electronic Medical Record (EMR)
Connected with You Through the EMR
The ability of a healthcare organization to be able to provide quality, patient-centered services is in large part due to medical technology. The Greater Hazleton Health Alliance utilizes an electronic medical record (EMR), a high-speed electronic system that provides physicians and caregivers with immediate access to medical records. This enables any healthcare provider at any Alliance affiliate—Hazleton General Hospital, the Hazleton Health & Wellness Center, and Alliance Medical Group—to view your patient information real-time or remotely from physician offices.
There’s no more waiting for paper copies of test and treatment results in order to manage patient care. All patient information is safely and confidentially stored in the EMR. The EMR provides physicians with quicker access to test results and ensures that patients receive them in a timely and efficient manner. The greatest advantage of the EMR as a patient-centered tool is that it provides immediate access to patient health records at the click of a mouse, which is particularly important in emergency situations when having the most current and complete information can be critical.
