What types of information might be stored on EHRs?
Anything that can be stored on paper medical records can be stored on EHR, but electronic records can be more comprehensive and flexible. For example, a patient s electronic records could include all of the drugs prescribed to that person and all tests done on that person. They could then be viewed not only in chronological order but also arranged in any other manner, such as charts and graphs, that would allow the patient s regular physician or any specialist to see trends and changes that could affect that person s treatment.
