EMR Versus EHR
EMR EHRA record of medical care created, managed, and maintained by one health care organization (intra-organizational)
A repository of individual health records that reside in numerous information systems and locations (inter-organizational)
Integration of health care data from a participating collection of systems from one health care organization
Aggregation of health-related information into one record focused around a person’s health history, i.e., a comprehensive, longitudinal record
Consulted by authorized clinicians and staff within one health care organization.
Consulted by authorized clinicians and staff across more than one health care organization
Data continuity throughout one health care organization
Data interoperability across different organizations

EHRs Versus Paper Records
• EHRs can make a patient’s health information available when and where it is needed
• EHRs can bring a patient’s total health information together in one place, and always be current
• EHRs can support better follow-up information for patients
• EHRs can improve patient and provider convenience

EHRs Versus Paper Records
• EHRs – Can link information with patient computers to
point to additional resources– Don’t just “contain” or transmit information,
they also compute with it – Can improve safety

Lecture a
EHRs Versus Paper Records
• EHRs can– Deliver more information in more directions
• While reducing “paperwork” time for providers – Improve privacy and security– Reduce costs
