Abstract: An electronic medical record(EMR)system is built at urban community health centers to optimize services,achieving information integration of outpatient medical services based on the doctors' workstation.This system has optimized service at the outpatient clinics in the following:1.Digitizing service processes for higher efficiency and service quality; 2.Using EMR templates to save doctors' time in writing medical records for more of their time in patient inquiries and checks; 3.Using LIS,PACs and ECG/EKC systems to check lab results and imaging diagnostics of patients; 4.Using the diagnostic and therapy record sub-system to check electronic records of the patients for consulting their health history;5.Using the Shanghai Medical Alliance's(SMA)shared sub-system to acquire patients' medical records at SMA medical institutions,learning their conditions for their therapies.EMR,when it is built and put into use,can help improve GP's diagnostics and therapeutics,and provide better care to the outpatients as well.
