Electronic Medical Record
An electronic medical record (EMR) is like a digital version of your medical history. It contains all the information that doctors, nurses and other medical professionals need to know about your health. With an EMR, doctors can quickly and easily access your health information like immunizations, medications, test results, and more. EMRs also make sure information is up to date, accurate, and secure. That way, your doctor can give you the best possible care.
