The U.S. healthcare system needs a new kind of electronic health record (EHR) that helps them sort a large amount of patient information in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Monitoring the patient’s wellbeing, perceiving, and reporting an apparently perpetual cluster of new symptoms has incessantly overpowered the whole clinical network.

Although the previous federal government supplied billions of dollars to speed the adoption of EHR, the hospitals still don’t have those systems that can rise to the information challenges faced by healthcare professionals every day, especially in times of coronavirus outbreak.

The healthcare providers encounter several issues: poor user interfaces, the low-quality data, the limited ability of analysis and interoperability, usability issues, etc. These impediments have disabled the capacity of clinicians to convey better quality services during the COVID-19 emergency.

To address these basic requirements, the EHR must evolve its focus from an individual’s medical record to an individual’s health plan and focus on clinical transactions support to a focus on offering the precise data to the clinicians and the patient. We know that EHRs are reasonably good at keeping track of patient records; however, it must also transit in the future to help the providers plan. It must let them make plans and keep it on track with a goal in mind.

An arrangement-driven and intelligent EHR is prepared to manage the COVID-19 pandemic by consolidating the most recent proof-based medicines into patient’s consideration plans dependent on their present status that are known to influence the results and save numerous lives. In any case, accomplishing such a service requires a degree of industry collaboration that is contradictory to how it has done things before.

Virginia Mason, Kaiser Permanente, and Intermountain Healthcare are some pioneers who have adopted the new health care business model. Their experiences will undoubtedly pave the way to the next-gen EHR.
