Introduction
The development of the medical industry is one of the top priorities in many countries, and many innovative systems significantly improve this industry. The latest invention for medicine is called electronic health record (EHR), and many hospitals actively use it. However, professionals still research the usefulness of this innovation as health care workers usually encounter inconsistencies in the system (Boonstra, et al, 2021). Moreover, workers a required to do extra tasks which employers do not pay for.
The EHR system was originally proposed to register patients with disabilities and make their lives and movements easier. These records are optional, and it creates a problem of storage and the inability to access patients’ information from different medical centers if required. Nowadays, UCCO requires every hospital to use the EHR system to establish the exchange of information. There are two main types of EHR called Physician-hosted and Remotely-hosted systems, which have approximately the same functions but might differ in efficiency (Adler-Milstein, et al, 2020). For instance, a Physician-hosted system is safe, but it is expensive, and stored information might not be accessible to every hospital. Controversially, a Remotely-hosted system is at a higher risk of attacks, but it is cheap and becomes available to all hospitals. Currently, the economic situation is oriented toward the improvement of the health care system, and Barbara can suggest investing a huge amount of money into the development of the EHR system. Based on analyses from hospitals, top managers can decide what EHR system will be useful and affordable.

Conclusion
In a fast-changing world, it is important to follow all modern trends. Such technologies as electronic health records make the healthcare industry more advanced, and people are happy with the services. However, modern technologies still did not achieve striving success as not all hospitals have the ability to use these innovations. The alternative ways of using new inventions are now developing by professionals to make the health care industry a more advanced sphere of human life
