Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are the systemized collection of important healthcare information that is
stored, accessed and shared in a digital format. EHRs are operationalized through protected network-connected,
enterprise-wide information systems and include patient data such as demographics, medical history, allergies,
test orders/results, and vital signs. EHRs are now touted as the preferred, if not mandated, method of
streamlining care and improving business operations within the healthcare industry by eliminating the need for
the paper records and manual processes.
