Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are digital versions of patients' paper charts, designed to streamline the collection and storage of health information. They provide real-time access to patient data, improving the quality of care and enhancing communication among healthcare providers.
EHRs facilitate better patient management by allowing for easy sharing of information across different healthcare settings. This technology supports clinical decision-making, reduces errors, and helps in maintaining comprehensive patient histories, ultimately leading to improved health outcomes and efficiency in healthcare delivery.
