Statement of Purpose

Facing the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare organizations across the world worked expeditiously to prepare for and manage the outbreak. In the modern era, a necessary component of outbreak management is effective utilization of the electronic health record (EHR). Technology-based tools can not only support, but also enhance patient care during a pandemic, most obviously through the use of telemedicine. This article was the first to describe in detail the rapid development and implementation of EHR-based tools designed to specifically support the management of COVID-19 as well as associated challenges.

Target Audience

The target audience for this activity is professionals and students interested in biomedical and health informatics.
