The advantages of using EHRs to store patient information, HR Proposal Summary help

Imagine you are currently working at a doctor’s office. You are approached by the office manager who asks you to develop an effective way of storing patient information.

Write a 350- to 400-word summary to your office manager informing her of the advantages of using EHRs to store patient information. Be clear and concise, use complete sentences, and use examples to support your responses. You can format this as a formal letter. Be sure to use APA essay format, including double spacing and 12 pt font. Cite sources! Specific information will make your argument more persuasive.

Alternative to Essay/Letter: You may construct a 3-5 slide PowerPoint presentation. Be sure to minimize text on-slide and provide adequate speakers notes. Your title and reference slide does not count toward minimum slide count.
