EMR vs EHR
Electronic health records are in fact defined differently than electronic medical records. According to HIMSS's Analytics of 2006, the differences can be defined in the chart below:
Electronic Medical Records (EMR)
The legal record of the CDO
A record of clinical services for patient encounters in a CDO Owned by the CDO These systems are being sold by enterprise vendors and installed by hospitals, health systems, clinics, etc. May have patient access to some results info through a portal but is not interactive Does not contain other CDO encounter information |
Electronic Health Records (EHR)
Subset (i.e. CCR or CCD) of information from various CDOs where patient has had encounters
Owned by patient or stakeholder Community, state, or regional emergence today (RHIOs) - or nationwide in the future Provides interactive patient access as well as the ability for the patient to append information Connected by NHIN |
Definitions: CDO = Care Delivery Organization; CCR = Continuity of Care Record; CCD = Continuity of Care Document; NHIN = National Health Information Network
*Tables retrieved from http://www.himssanalytics.org/.
Although much has changed, including technology, since 2006, these definitions still stand true to the differences between EMR and EHR.
