Overview
This Health Industry Insights report defines the solution components and technical infrastructure for electronic medical records (EMRs) and electronic health records (EHRs). Health Industry Insights sees EMRs and EHRs as two distinct but related technologies that present relevant clinical data to providers and enable clinical decision making and clinical data exchange.
"Multiple terms are used to describe medical record technology, confounding an already complex topic," states Lynne A. Dunbrack, program director, Healthcare Payer Research. "Even some industry experts use EMR and EHR interchangeably, as if they were synonymous terms."
