What Role Do EHR Systems Play in Public Health and Research?
EHR systems are valuable tools for public health and research. They facilitate the collection of large datasets that can be used for epidemiological studies and to monitor trends in pediatric health. This data can help in identifying outbreaks of diseases, evaluating the effectiveness of public health interventions, and informing policy decisions. Researchers can also use EHR data to conduct studies aimed at improving pediatric care.
