EHR's provide quick and easy access to patients records. It also reduces the need for paper charts and filling space. The chances of losing a single document gets reduced as well since files are saved on a server. Information is stored more neatly and easily identifiable. However, if the server crashes or gets hacked the patient information is either lost or completely compromised. Servers go down and have bugs which can delay access to information that is immediately needed. Servers also need constant maintenance.
