Feedback:
The use of the electronic health record (EHR) is becoming increasingly widespread. In some areas, hospitals, clinics, laboratories, and pharmacies are all using compatible systems and can access each other's records. This greatly enhances communication between agencies and facilities. Clients can also access their own information and ask informed questions.
