14 Electronic Medical Record (EMR), Electronic Health Record (EHR), Hospital Information System (HIS) and Practice Management Softwares

An electronic medical record (EMR) is a computerized medical record created in hospitals or physicians' offices. The two terms “electronic medical record, EMR” and “electronic health record, EHR” are used interchangeably generally. However, there are some differences. Electronic medical record (EMR) is a digital version of the paper charts in the healtcare facility. It contains the medical and treatment history of the patients in one practice. Electronic health record (EHR) performs previous tasks, additionally focus on the total health of the patient—going beyond standard clinical data collected in the provider’s office and inclusive of a broader view on a patient’s care. Thus, an EHR is designed to reach out beyond the health organization that originally collects and compiles the information.
