What Is An EHR?
An electronic health record, or EHR, is a computerized record of a patient's health and care history.
Whenever a patient visits any caretaker, including doctors, hospitals and emergency rooms, information about the patient, and that visit, is uploaded to their EHR.
The EHR documents a patient's vital signs, immunization records, medications, medical history, demographics, progress notes, radiology and laboratory reports, and any other information that is pertinent to present and/or future caretakers.
By doing so, it provides doctors and hospitals with a constant and comprehensive picture of the patient's medical history, one they might not be able to obtain in certain situations.
For example, if a patient has been involved in an automobile accident, and is brought to the emergency room unconscious, he will be unable to communicate his allergies, illnesses, and any pre-existing conditions to medical personnel; however, if he has his driver's license with him, caretakers will be able to find his EHR, and care for him more effectively because they have a completely comprehensive medical history available to them.
