An electronic medical record (EMR) is a medical record in digital format.
In health informatics an EMR is considered by some to be one of several types of EHRs (electronic health records), but in general usage EMR and EHR are synonymous.
The term has sometimes included other (HIT, or Health Information Technology) systems which keep track of medical information, such as the practice management system which supports the electronic medical record.
One way the medical world can lead is through the development and implementation of an electronic medical record (EMR)/electronic health record (EHR), which can reduce costs and lower your carbon footprint.

Why is accuracy and compliance to accepted standards of documentation in the medical record important? The first and most important reason is to provide patients with appropriate care based on details provided in their medical record. This ensures optimal patient care and allows for excellent patient satisfaction. Another reason for ensuring accuracy and compliance in the medical record is to provide governmental agencies, and any other entity accessing the patient’s medical record accurate and complete information. With improved documentation, collections improve, the risk for unfavorable audit results decreases, and efficiencies are increased in the office with both staff and physician co-workers.
