Health records are official documents that contain a person's medical history and health information. They typically include details such as diagnoses, 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 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 ensuring quality healthcare and safeguarding patient privacy.
