What is EHR System? EHR stands for Electronic Health Record. An EHR system is an electronic record of a patient's medical history, including health information from various sources, that is maintained by a healthcare provider over time. The system includes patient data such as demographics, medical history, medications, immunizations, laboratory results, and radiology reports. It can also include other data such as medical images, vital signs, and provider notes. The system can be used to track a patient's health over time, provide better quality of care, and enable easier communication between healthcare providers.
