EMR (Electronic Medical Record)

An Electronic Medical Record (EMR) is a digital version of a patient's paper chart. It includes important health information such as medical history, diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, immunization dates, and test results. EMRs are used by healthcare providers to improve patient care by making information easily accessible and shareable. This digital system enhances communication among medical professionals, reduces errors, and streamlines administrative tasks, ultimately leading to better outcomes for patients. EMRs are a key component of modern healthcare technology, contributing to more efficient and coordinated care.
