An Electronic Health Record (EHR) is a digital version of a patient's paper chart and more. It's a real-time, patient-centered record that makes information available instantly and securely to authorized users. While an EHR does contain the medical and treatment histories of patients, it goes beyond the standard clinical data collected in a provider's office and can be inclusive of a broader view of a patient's care.

They are built to share information with other health care providers, such as laboratories and specialists, so they contain information from all clinicians involved in a patient's care.
