| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Long lengths of stay in emergency departments (EDs) are associated with a low degree of patient satisfaction and poor prognosis. Electronic medical record (EMR) systems have the potential to increase efficiency not only in outpatient departments or wards, but also in EDs. However, the EMR entries reportedly took more time, and the degree of satisfaction was low in EDs. We developed an EMR system focusing on clinical documentation to efficiently enter detailed patient information. We introduced and integrated this newly developed EMR system at a hospital where an existing, standard EMR system was already in use. We found that the newly developed EMR system for EDs was shown to reduce the time needed for overall medical care of patients entering the ED and had a high degree of user satisfaction. Furthermore, in terms of level 2 (emergency) patients, the EMR system was associated with a decrease in the time needed for overall medical care, in addition to length of stay in ED.
