HIMSS Electronic Health Record (EHR)

HIMSS Electronic Health Record (EHR) refers to a standardized system developed by the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) that ensures electronic health records are consistent, secure, and easily accessible across healthcare organizations. It provides a structured way to organize, share, and manage patient information such as medical history, medications, allergies, and test results. This standardization enhances coordination, improves patient safety, and supports efficient care delivery by enabling healthcare providers to quickly access accurate and comprehensive health data, regardless of where the patient receives treatment.
