Answer:

to help ensure access to clear and complete documentation

Step-by-step explanation:

Electronic medical records (EMRs) can be defined as patient data/information records electronically stored in a digital format. EMRs are designed by using specialized softwares for easily storing, documenting, and retrieving patient care records, thereby contributing to the access of patient information by professionals (e.g., doctors and nurses) and patients. EMRs very are useful to improve patient care issues including effectiveness, safety, education, efficiency and equity.
