Electronic Medical Record (EMR) is a technique used in noting the observations, diagnosis, treatment & any other medical parameter, electronically using the latest technology.
It can be described as a Summary of Any Observation or a Record, that is produced during any Clinical Observation or/and Practise.
Electronic Medical Record (EMR) is basically any technique used in noting the observations, diagnosis, treatment, and any other medical parameter, electronically!
We always make sure what we do, during any hour of the day, is arranged and well managed, so as to avoid any conflict.
Similarly, Any EMR/EHR has to be well managed and well arranged. The information uploaded in it should be arranged, as there is no problem in finding it when is needed the most, and using it to its full potential.

Electronic records are highly useful in many ways such as:-

  • Medical history goes paperless now
  • Healthcare costs are highly reduced 
  • Empowering the doctors to be able to deliver right treatment at the right time 
  • Practice of evidence-based medicine is being promoted
