How can you define Electronic Health Record or EHR?
by Annie P. SEOElectronic Health Record (EHR) is an electronic version of a patient's medical records. Providers maintain EHR to keep patient records accurate and up-to-date.
EHR is a collection of patient records generated during clinical encounters or events. EHR contains patients' all medical reports. Following are details that EHR contain:
Past medical records
Vitals
Diagnosis
Vaccination dates
Medication details
Allergies
Family details
Insurance and Claims details
Laboratory tests integration
Progress notes
Radiology images
Tele-visits
Providers are using patients' data to improve their quality outcomes for their healthcare management system. All that data stored in EHR is used to improve the quality of the given care.
Providers don't have to worry about storing the data in the system or install any software for using electronic health records because electronic health records (EHR) store their data on cloud-based systems. So, providers can access their data from anywhere and anytime. Also, providers can access patients' data from devices like mobiles, tablets, laptops, or computers.
Electronic health records are also used for easily sharing data from one provider to another provider, laboratory tests, reports, or insurance companies. EHR vendors provide different features in their EHR system or customize their system according to providers' needs, but some are common EHR features in all EHR systems.
