An electronic medical record (EMR) system is a type of computerized software system used by health care providers to store, track, and manage patient medical records. This digital form of medical record storage is an essential tool for modern medical providers, allowing them to quickly access patient data, share records with other providers, and monitor the progress of treatments to ensure better patient care. In addition to providing secure and organized storage of medical records, EMR systems also provide increased accuracy and efficiency of data entry and reduces paperwork, thus streamlining medical practice operations. By facilitating medical providers a digital means of documenting patient care, EMR systems facilitate the improvement of patient quality outcomes.
