overview of electronic medical records
Electronic medical records (EMRs) are just an electronic version of a patient chart that often is/was kept in a manilla folder. It often contains demographic information, insurance information, lab records, prescription history, diagnoses, and list of past procedures that have been performed. Also important are allergies (drug, food, and other), reported medical conditions, and family history.
Traditionally, the definition of an electronic medical record is for just data that affects the patient's health rather than financial or scheduling information. However, electronic medical records can and do often store everything about a patient.
common EMR features
Clinical decision support is often built into an EMR to reduce medical errors by checking allergies or drug to drug interactions.
E-prescribing is mandated by the HITECH act to be included in any EMRs that receive reimbursement.
