Electronic Health Records
Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are digitally stored patient medical charts. In addition to medical and treatment histories of patients, electronic health records contain standard clinical monitoring and laboratory data collected in a provider’s office or hospital. Electronic health records (EHRs) contain individuals’ medical history, past diagnoses, medication history, treatment information, immunization information, allergies, radiology images, and laboratory test results. They offer benefits such as improved patient care, increased patient participation, improved diagnostics and patient outcomes, and increased practice efficiencies and cost savings. EHRs are vital to healthcare information technology infrastructure and provide the backbone for care-related activities, including evidence-based clinical decision support, audit and quality management, and patient outcome reporting.
