In the dynamic landscape of healthcare, embracing digital medical records is more than a trend—it's a vital journey toward better patient-centred care.
To navigate this path successfully, crafting a comprehensive and collaborative strategy is essential. At its heart lies the electronic document management system (EDMS), a crucial tool poised to revolutionise the clinician : patient experience.
