Electronic Health Records System Offers Great Convenience to Patients
The electronic records system implemented in healthcare facilities significantly reduces patient waiting times and administrative workload.
Beginning to replace paper-based records in certain healthcare facilities in An Giang province and at the An Minh Medical Center, the electronic health records system provides great conveniences for patients and medical staff while shortening waiting times.
Fast Processing via ID Scanning
In healthcare facilities across An Giang province, it is sufficient for patients to simply scan their ID cards; thus, their information and medical history are transferred directly into the system.
This practice is gradually replacing paper-based records, helping to reduce the time spent searching for and storing information.
Gradually Expanding Model
Starting in August 2026, the Chau Phu Commune Health Station became the first unit to implement electronic health records, followed by other stations.
The process is implemented in three steps: automatic registration at the smart medical kiosk, directing the patient to the examination room, and automatic completion of the record.
Patient Satisfaction and Time Saving
Residents living in Binh My Ward state that thanks to smart kiosks, procedures are much more practical and time-saving compared to the past.
Thanks to the system, patients are relieved of the need to carry paper documents when going to higher-level facilities.
Easing the Burden on Medical Staff
The new system reduces the manual workload for doctors, allowing examination history, diagnoses, and prescriptions to be updated directly through the system.
Dr. Nguyen Cong Nghi, Director of the Binh My Commune Health Center, emphasized that digital transformation enhances professional efficiency and provides better service to the public.
Large-Scale Transition at An Minh Medical Center
At the An Minh Medical Center, a larger-scale treatment facility, electronic medical records have also officially gone into operation.
Center Director Dr. Nguyen Van Tai stated that more than 31,000 records are stored in the system, creating a significant change in patient record management.
