ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORD (EMR) AS ONE OF PRIORITIES OF INNOVATIVE MANAGEMENT

In most countries, the system of paper documents (medical records) still largely provides information vital to the delivery of health care. Huge savings are possible by the introduction of electronic medical record (EMR). This electronic record can easily detect and eliminate errors. We regard that the EMR will be one of the priorities of innovation in healthcare in the entity of Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (F.B&H). Using the method of stratified random sample we surveyed 313 participants, 52 of which, were managers of health care organizations (OZZ) in F.B&H. A retrospective-perspective search of available literature in the field of innovation in healthcare and empirical research of management innovation was conducted. The aim was to gather information on the level of innovative activity and the application of EMR in the health care system.
