A unique feature of an electronic health record (EHR)is its ability to integrate all pertinent patient information into one record,regardless of the number of times a patient enters a health care system.Although the electronic medical record (EMR)contains patient data gathered in a health care setting at a specific time and place and is a part of the EHR,the two terms are frequently used interchangeably.There are no such terms as electronic charting record or electronic problem record.
