A digital counterpart of a patient's broadside chart is called an electronic health record (EHR). EHRs are patient-centered, real-time annals that make information available to authorized users promptly and securely. While an EHR system does comprehend a patient's medical and treatment history, it is designed to go beyond traditional clinical data collected in a provider's office and can encompass a broader view of a patient's care. EHRs are an imperative aspect of health IT because they can:

• Contain a patient’s medical history, diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, immunization dates, allergies, radiology images, and laboratory and test results
• Allow access to evidence-based tools that providers can use to make decisions about a patient’s care
• Automate and streamline provider workflow

One of the most important characteristics of an EHR is that authorized physicians can create and manage health information in a digital format that can be shared with other providers across several healthcare organizations. EHRs are designed to share data with other healthcare providers and organizations, such as laboratories, specialists, medical imaging centers, pharmacies, emergency rooms, and school and workplace clinics, so they contain files from all doctors involved in a patient's care.
