A new graduate asks the preceptor what the difference is between an electronic medical record (EMR ) and an electronic health record (EHR ). The preceptor explains that:
1. The EMR only includes nursing assessments.
2. The EHR is a part of the EMR used by other professions.
3. The EMR cannot be recalled.
4. The EMR is an electronic record of client encounters.
4. The EMR is an electronic record of client encounters.
Rationale:
The EMR is the legal record of each encounter with the client and is a portion of the client's EHR. The EMR includes all departments involved during a client encounter, such as laboratory results and nursing assessments. All professions use the EMR when contacting the client, and it then becomes a part of the EHR. The EMR can be recalled from a specific client contact as it becomes a part of the client's electronic record.
