Electronic Health Record

An Electronic Health Record (EHR) is a digital version of a patient's medical history, maintained by healthcare providers. It securely stores information such as diagnoses, medications, lab results, and treatment plans. EHRs help ensure that healthcare professionals have quick access to accurate, comprehensive data, improving coordination, reducing errors, and enhancing patient care. Unlike paper records, they can be easily updated, shared securely across different providers, and integrated with other health technologies to support better health management.
