Four reasons to ditch your Paper Records

As more people move to electronic record keeping or Electronic Medical Record (EMR), the time for paper records as a viable medium for medical documentation has come and gone. After all, who wants to spend their days shredding, filing, shuffling or stacking paper? And there are even more reasons to ditch the paper records and go the digital route to record keeping and charting.
