An electronic health record (EHR) system allows healthcare information to be shared electronically across organizations. It creates a centralized patient chart by aggregating all patient data in one place to avoid errors and maintain consistency. The EHR system is web-based, user-friendly, and requires no hardware purchase or long-term contract. It connects various healthcare providers within a private exchange, regional exchange, or nationwide exchange network to improve patient care and meet federal health standards.
