Electronic Case Reporting (eCR) enables automatic, real-time exchange of case information with Public Health Agencies (PHAs).
When data is recorded in the EHR, it is checked against a trigger table to determine whether there is a reportable condition — and if so, an electronic Initial Case Report (eICR) is sent to the PHAs.
In the world of healthcare, Electronic Health Records (EHRs) have become indispensable tools, revolutionizing the way patient information is documented, managed, and shared. MEDITECH, one of the leading providers of EHR systems, has played a significant role in this transformation. However, despite their reliability, EHR systems are not immune to downtime, which can occur due to various reasons such as technical glitches, ransomware attacks, maintenance activities or even natural disasters.
