Electronic Health Records
Electronic health records (EHRs) are digital versions of a patient’s medical history, used for administrative and clinical purposes to provide better healthcare services. They store patient information such as medical history, diagnoses, medications, and lab results. EHRs provide an efficient way to securely store, access, update, and share data across multiple healthcare providers and organizations, allowing for greater access to healthcare information. As EHRs become more widely adopted, they help improve the quality of care, reduce healthcare costs, and improve public health by allowing for better data analysis and decision making. EHRs also support patient engagement and communication with healthcare providers, promoting patient-centered care.
