Digital Health Records in Paving the Way for Paperless and Green Practices

Abstract

The transformational influence of digital health records (DHRs) on healthcare systems, with a focus on their significance in encouraging paperless and ecologically friendly practices. As technology advances, DHR usage gains traction, revolutionizing the old paper-based approach to health record administration. It also emphasizes the beneficial environmental benefit of moving to paperless systems, which reduces the carbon footprint related to paper manufacturing, storage, and disposal. The chapter intends to highlight the important role that DHR systems play in developing sustainable medical procedures as well as contributing to the larger global movement for environmental conservation by giving case studies and examples of effective DHR deployments. The research results imply that integrating DHRs not just contributes to more effective healthcare delivery but it additionally coincides with an increasing demand in the healthcare sector for environmentally aware solutions.
