Electronic health record
An electronic health record (EHR) is like an online folder for your medical information. It is like a personal computer file where doctors and other health care providers can store information about your health. In your EHR, they can store your medical history, allergies, medications, lab results, and other important information. This makes it much easier for a doctor to keep track of your health and make sure you get the best care possible.
