    Study Notes

    Electronic Health Records (EHR)

    • An Electronic Health Record (EHR) is a digital version of a patient's medical chart, containing all relevant health information.

    Key Capabilities of EHR

    • One of the key capabilities of EHR is the ability to share information with other healthcare providers, allowing for better coordination of care.
    • EHR enables electronic communication between healthcare team members, other care partners, and connectivity to the patient record across multiple care settings.

    Benefits of EHR

    • Embracing EHR technologies can transform healthcare for the better by improving quality, safety, and efficiency of care.

    Reducing Healthcare Costs

    • The main reason for bending the cost curve of the rising national cost of healthcare is to reduce the administrative burden and costs associated with paper-based records.

    EMR vs EHR

    • Electronic Medical Record (EMR) focuses on the clinical activities within a healthcare organization, whereas Electronic Health Record (EHR) includes a broader range of information and is designed to be shared across multiple healthcare settings.

    Personal Health Record (PHR)

    • The Personal Health Record (PHR) allows patients to manage their own health information, track their care, and communicate with healthcare providers.

    Patient Education and Engagement

    • One capability of EHR focuses on tracking patient education, family education, informal caregiver education, and data entered by patients and caregivers, facilitating patient engagement and empowerment.
