EHR and EMR are two commonly used terms in the healthcare industry that refer to electronic health records and electronic medical records, respectively. Electronic medical records (EMR) are digital versions of the paper charts in a medical practice. They contain patient medical history, diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, and other information related to a patient’s healthcare. EMRs are typically used within a single healthcare organization or practice and are designed to serve the needs of healthcare providers involved in the patient’s care. Electronic health records (EHR) are similar to EMRs but are designed to be more comprehensive and interoperable across multiple healthcare organizations. EHRs include all of the information contained in EMRs but also include data from other sources, such as laboratories, pharmacies, and insurance companies. EHRs are designed to share patient information securely and seamlessly between different healthcare providers and organizations, allowing for better coordination of care and improved patient outcomes.
