Johns Hopkins is a pioneer in the use of electronic patient medical records (EPR)—which contribute significantly to patient privacy protection and more efficient patient care. 

The Johns Hopkins Electronic Patient Record protects patient privacy through safeguards such as password protection and auditing tools. With this system, Hopkins physicians can order laboratory, pathology and radiology imaging studies and have the results loaded in near-real time. This gives the attending physician immediate access—speeding decision making and treatment delivery.

Hopkins’ IT experts ensure that our international partners’ clinical programs and administrative initiatives are supported by a cohesive and well-designed information technology plan.
