Definition and Purpose

Electronic Health Record (EHR) refers to a digital version of a patient’s paper chart that contains comprehensive, real-time health information accessible instantly and securely to authorized users. EHRs are designed to go beyond standard clinical data collected in a provider’s office, offering broader, longitudinal records of patient care. Their primary purpose is to improve the quality, safety, and efficiency of healthcare delivery by facilitating data sharing across different healthcare settings, enhancing clinical decision-making, and supporting regulatory compliance.
