An Electronic Health Record (EHR) is a digital system for storing and managing a patient’s comprehensive medical history, including diagnoses, treatments, medications, immunizations, and test results. EHRs are designed to be shared securely among authorized healthcare providers, enabling coordinated and efficient care. Unlike traditional paper charts, EHRs can be updated in real-time and accessed from different locations, improving accuracy and reducing the risk of errors. They also support features like reminders for preventive care, streamlined billing, and easier data analysis for healthcare providers.
