💾 Why digitize it? 

EMR is all about storing patient details in software. This eliminates record-keeping on paper which is highly inefficient. 

• Accurate. Digitizing hospital documents is an ideal way to ensure the accuracy of patient data and prevent any potential disasters that could arise from incorrect details or duplicate records. 
• Secure. EMR eliminates the risk of losing or damaging paper records. They also provide quick data backups, allowing healthcare professionals to securely store patient information and protect it from potential security breaches. 
• Cost effective. Not only does it save time, it also saves money. Having accessible and accurate medical records allows doctors to focus on what matters!

🇮🇩 Healthcare in Indonesia

In Indonesia, the productivity loss to disease is estimated at 30% of the GDP annually.

Several key challenges need to be addressed: 

1. Patients need a more trusty local system and infrastructure
2. There is a talent shortage
3. Investment in healthcare needs to increase 
4. There is a vast disparity between urban and rural areas in terms of healthcare access

Digital technology can help healthcare providers overcome accessibility challenges!

In the case of Zi.Care, accurate healthcare records, and higher efficiency at hospitals will help all those receiving care.
