EHR is the longitudinal electronic record of patient health information generated by one or more encounters in any care delivery setting. Included in this information are patient demographics, progress notes, problems, medications, vital signs, past medical history, immunizations, laboratory data, and radiology reports. The EHR automates and streamlines the clinician's work flow. The EHR has the ability to generate a complete record of a clinical patient encounter—as well as supporting other care-related activities directly or indirectly via interface—including evi-dence-based decision support, quality management, and outcomes reporting. The EMR is com-posed of data from multiple software applications used by a facility such as a hospital or provider officer to order, document, and store patient information just as a paper medical record did in the past. The ability of the computer systems to combine data from various EMRs to form a more holistic view of a patient is one of the major benefits of electronic documentation. The inclusion of data collected by the patient into the EHR is called the personal health record (PHR).
