EMR vs. EHR
UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFERENCE
What is an EMR?
An electronic medical record (EMR) is best understood as a digital version of a patient's chart. It contains the patient's medical and treatment history from one practice. Usually, this digital record stays in the doctor's office and does not get shared. If a patient switches doctors, his or her EMR is unlikely to follow.
What is an EHR?
An electronic health record (EHR) contains the patient's records from multiple doctors and provides a more holistic, long-term view of a patient's health. It includes their demographics, test results, medical history, history of present illness (HPI), and medications. An EHR goes wherever the patient goes and gets shared by healthcare providers. As an all-inclusive patient record, it can powerfully help improve patient care and health outcomes.
