#electronic medical records

Electronic medical records (EMRs) are digital versions of patients' paper charts, used to store, share and manage health information. Here, you'll find documents that discuss the benefits and drawbacks of EMRs, their impact on healthcare communication, and the challenges of implementing them. Some documents also cover the financial aspects and legal considerations, like HIPAA, of using EMRs. There are also examples of EMRs in specific healthcare settings, such as long-term care facilities.
