Electronic Health Record which is also known as EHR which is considered as the replacement of the paper records of the patients in a digital format in the health organizations. EHR plays a major role in treating the patients in all the departments of the medicine. These records consist of the medical history of patients. EHR acts as a medium of communication among healthcare practitioners. A decade ago, EHRs were touted as a key for increasing quality care. Today, providers are using data from patient records to improve quality outcomes through their care management programs. One of the key features of an EHR is that health information can be created and managed by authorized providers in a digital format capable of being shared with other providers across more than one health care organization. EHRs are built to share information with other health care providers and organizations such as laboratories, specialists, medical imaging facilities, pharmacies, emergency facilities, and school and workplace clinics.
