EMR, or Electronic Medical Record, is a digital version of a patient's paper chart. It contains a patient's medical history, diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, immunization dates, allergies, radiology images, and laboratory test results. EMRs are designed to be shared among different healthcare providers, improving the efficiency and quality of patient care. The use of EMR systems helps streamline workflows in healthcare settings, allowing for easier access to patient information. This technology enhances communication between providers and can lead to better patient outcomes by ensuring that all relevant data is available at the point of care.
