Abstract

The implementation of Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) has revolutionized healthcare practices globally by enhancing the quality of care, increasing efficiency, and reducing errors. This review article explores the adoption of EMRs in Saudi Arabian hospitals, examining their impact on hospital management, patient safety, and overall healthcare outcomes. It analyzes the challenges and opportunities associated with EMR implementation in the context of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 healthcare initiative, which seeks to improve healthcare quality and accessibility. While there are notable benefits, challenges remain that must be addressed to fully realize the potential of EMR systems. Continued support from government policy, combined with strategic implementation approaches, can aid in overcoming these barriers, ultimately leading to enhanced patient care and improved hospital management.
