title: [Conduct of survey four months after the start of EMR for home visits to promote cooperation between hospitals and clinics].
abstract: Electronic medical records(EMR)for home visits were introduced in October 2013 at our institution in order to ensure smooth cooperation between the hospital and clinic by sharing the details of a patient's medical record. A system was developed for remote desktop connections to the EMR terminal server(virtual server)with the use of an SSL-VPN. Mobile terminals and mobile printers were used. Four months after the start of this system, a survey was conducted for 41 home care professionals and other staff(physicians, nurses, and office staff). Home care staff indicated that they had problems with the system, including bad connections and operating conditions, and difficulties responding to problems when they arose. Other staff indicated that they were able to acquire patient information faster than with paper-based records. Future issues include improvements to the user-friendliness of the terminals and improved responses to problems when they occur.
