EHR systems have evolved from basic single-office databases into sophisticated applications capable of managing clinical documentation, laboratory results, images, and other patient data across care settings as well as providing decision support to promote safe patient care, reduce errors, and support adherence to practice guidelines. Data captured within the EHR are used to support nearly every aspect of patient care, including related billing and auditing activities. Increasingly, these data are also being used for quality improvement and research.
