Community health records

What is the difference between EHR and EMR?
The ability to share complete information instantly is one of the main differences between an EMR and an EHR.
An EMR captures information from a single care provider, which is only available to that one care provider.
However, EHRs are designed to be used by multiple care providers and healthcare organizations..
The nursing record is where we write down what nursing care the patient receives and the patient's response to this, as well as any other events or factors which may affect the patient's wellbeing.
These 'events or factors' can range from a visit by the patient's relatives to going to theatre for a scheduled operation.
The term EMR (electronic medical record) refers to a digital copy of a patient's chart as organized by their medical provider.
The EMR includes the patient's treatment and medical history from that specific clinician.

Community Health Record means a set of Data regarding a particular individual that is combined from various sources throughout the Participant community over time (i.e., a “longitudinal” view) and made available through the Contexture System.

The Community Health Record benefits patients by reducing redundant and avoidable diagnostic tests, which saves time and costs associated with repeated tests.

The Community Health Record is a Web-based software tool that allows qualified health care providers to access aggregated patient records from multiple hospitals and medical labs throughout a community.
