“Congratulations to Institut Jantung Negara in Kuala Lumpur for becoming the first hospital in Malaysia to achieve EMRAM Stage 6!”

The Electronic Medical Record Adoption Model (EMRAM), developed by HIMSS Analytics, is a globally recognized standard for evaluating the adoption and integration of electronic medical records (EMR) in healthcare organizations.

Achieving EMRAM Stage 6 reflects the hospital’s significant progress in EMR implementation, with a high Clinical User adoption rate. This includes advanced clinical documentation, clinical decision support tools in CPOE, and highly integrated closed-loop medication administration, specimen collection, blood transfusion, and human milk management.

Moreover, it demonstrates a strong level of Health Information Exchange within the hospital and with external organizations. By leveraging clinical analytics to monitor and enhance patient outcomes and quality of care, this achievement further improves healthcare efficiency and strengthens patient safety.
