Health records are documents that contain important information about a person's medical history. They typically include details such as past illnesses, treatments, medications, allergies, and test results. These records help healthcare providers make informed decisions about a patient's care and track their health over time. Health records can be stored in various formats, including paper files and electronic systems known as Electronic Health Records (EHRs). EHRs allow for easier sharing of information among different healthcare providers, improving coordination and efficiency in patient care. Maintaining accurate health records is essential for effective diagnosis and treatment.
