What is an Electronic Health Record (or EHR)?

Electronic Health Record Defined

An Electronic Health Record (or EHR), also referred to as an Electronic Medical Record, or EMR, is a computerized system where patient records are created, used, exchanged, stored and retrieved.

Replacing the Paper Record

Today’s Medical Records Management software is based on the traditional paper-based medical record that’s been used for hundreds of years.

Because every Healthcare provider keeps a separate paper medical record for each patient, there is no ability to integrate information between the various providers treating a patient.

Computerizing Medical Records

The goal of the Electronic Health Record is to replace the paper with an electronic record while maintaining all of the elements of the traditional paper-based method, including all of the information about a patient’s care throughout the lifetime of that patient.

When data is integrated, as it is using an EHR system, patient care improves, risks are greatly reduced, HIPAA compliance is ensured, and you are able to reduce your expenses and increase your revenues – without working longer hours.
