The United States Federal government looks toward information technology to curtail health care costs while increasing the quality of patient care through the adoption of electronic health record (EHR)systems. This paper examined the experience of a hospital with its EHR system in the context of the pandemic. Results showed that the hospital maintains a state-of-the-art health care system to provide quality care to its community and was responsive to the recent crisis. The results were consistent with other comparable hospitals examined in this study. The hospitals were successful in adopting EHR systems. They were able to identify gaps that could be filled with technology add-ons from different software vendors to improve their functionality and thereby provide better & timely patient care. Managing large volumes of data generated in the normal process of EHR operation and ensuring data privacy and security were the significant challenges faced and are likely to continue in the future.

This chapter provides a brief history of health records development through the ages, from ancient Mesopotamian clay tablets through to today's electronic health record. An understanding of where we have come from informs future direction and enhances knowledge. While the content and method has evolved, the need to document health information has been consistent for over 4000 years. The central premise has always been to support quality health care through quality information. This chapter will explore the link between health records and patient safety.

This chapter explores the seminal topic of Universal Health Coverage (UHC), an objective within the Sustainable Development goals. It reviews the theory and definitions that shape the current conversation on UHC. The movement from selective primary health care to UHC demonstrates a global commitment to the progressive realization of the right to health. However, access to UHC is limited by barriers to care, inadequate provision of care, and poor-quality services. To deliver UHC, it is critical to align inputs in the health system with the burden of disease. Quality of care must also be improved. Steady, sufficient financing is needed to achieve the laudable goal of UHC.This chapter highlights some important steps taken by countries to expand access to quality health care. Finally, the chapter investigates the theory and practice behind a morbidity-based approach to strengthening health systems and achieving UHC.
