An EHR (Electronic Health Record) is a digital version of a patient's paper chart. It contains comprehensive health information, including medical history, medications, allergies, lab results, and treatment plans. EHRs are designed to be shared across different healthcare settings, allowing for better coordination of care among providers. EHR systems improve the efficiency of healthcare delivery by enabling quick access to patient data. They can also enhance patient safety by reducing errors related to handwriting or miscommunication. Many healthcare providers use EHRs to streamline their workflows and improve patient outcomes through better data management and analysis.
