The current study has been conducted among both male (4) and female (16) interviewees of diverse age groups – 24-30 (6), 30-40 (8), >40 (6). The average length of employment is reported to be seven years. The questionnaire consists of 20 questions on the suitability and effectiveness of the electronic healthcare system (wareed). The options for the answer are “Strongly Disagree,” “Disagree,” “I don’t know,” “Agree,” and “Strongly Agree.”
According to the study results, the interviewees are experienced specialists and, thus, can provide a credible opinion on the issue. The specialists receive adequate training on how to use it; technical support is provided, as well. The experts note that the wareed offers access to patient data and analysis, and reduces time in registering health data. For example, the treatment plan is clearly documented in the patients’ records. The system lowers the possibility of medication errors and consumes less time than the paper-based ones. However, its usage may be slightly complicated and needs some time to be learned. The interviewees noted that it might be difficult to add the digital radiographs and the consent forms to the patient records. Other difficulties might consist of charting the patient’s dentition on the system and selecting the proper diagnosis from the ICD10 list. The interviewees, although, did not consider the system highly complicated.
The specialists agree that not only the quality of one’s work improves due to the wareed system but also the communication between professionals. In general, the electronic system is reported to improve the quality of care. The study shows that the majority of the interviewees would recommend the use of wareed or other EHR for their colleagues. The wared, therefore, is a rather efficient electronic system that offers the digital record-keeping system and ensures the accuracy of the data.
