Electronic health records

Electronic health records (EHRs) are digital versions of a patient's medical history that healthcare providers use instead of paper documents, containing information like diagnoses, medications, test results, and treatment plans. These systems allow doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals to quickly access and share patient information across different hospitals and clinics, making care more coordinated and efficient. EHRs also help researchers study disease patterns and treatment outcomes on a large scale, ultimately improving how we understand and treat health conditions.
