As of this moment the medical files are divided by three terms electronic medical record (EMR), electronic health record (EHR) and personal health record (PHR). This is one way of fixing the problem is just by making everyone switch to this sort of online format.
Let’s look at each of these in a little more detail.
1. Electronic Health Record – a health record under the custodianship of the health system used in support of multiple care settings. The definition of this record was part of the original EHR Solution Blueprint and has withstood the test of time. Learn more in our updated Digital Health Blueprint.This is often described as a patient-centric health record for the sharing of health information.
2. Electronic Medical Record – a record under the custodianship of a health care provider, or providers, that is used in a community physician practice setting. Typical use is by clinicians within a primary care practice or specialist physician.This is often described as a provider-centric or health organization-centric health record of a patient in support of the provider’s interactions or encounters with the patient.
3. Hospital Information System – a record under the custodianship of a health care organization. It is used in an inpatient setting such as acute care, continuing care and long term care.This is often described as a provider-centric or health organization-centric health record of a patient in support of the provider’s interactions or encounters with the patient. So therefore we can have this all put online where everyone is put on to one system that is divided. This might be a bit confusing until the system has been used for a while.
