An EHR includes data relevant to a persons care such as demographics, progress notes, problems, medications, vital signs, past medical history, immunizations, laboratory data and radiology reports. It automates access to a pts info and has the potential to streamline the clinician's workflow. The EHR also has the ability to support other care-related activities directly or indirectly such as evidence-based decision support, quality management, and outcomes reporting.
