Being a peer family advocate, a billing clerk, quality assurance coordinator, and a program manager. I have worked my way through electronical medical records and HIPAA. One benefit is not having to scan in paper work if it is electronically available. It is easier to audit as well as edit if needed. The con would be if the internet is down there is no way to access them. I feel like our world relies on technology. It is a benefit for our clients to obtrieve their records more quickly. Rather than having to go through strage to find records from 2014.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">I would say that for some it can be annoying it requires more signature in documentation and it feels less personal. However, its less paper documents to fill out for a client. I have worked with the electronical medical records since 2017. I have learned a lot and I feel confident when I use them. When our internet goes down it feels like a scramble.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">So there are pros and cons.
