The Electronic Medical Record
What is an EMR?• “An electronic longitudinal collection of personal health
information usually based on the individual, entered or accepted by health care providers, which can be distributed over a number of sites or aggregated at a particular source. The information is organized primarily to support continuing, efficient and quality care” (National EHR Taskforce, 2000, p.21).

Final Thoughts
1. There is a lot of patient information in an electronic medical record that is organized differently.
2. Electronic Medical Records are still in their infancy – sometimes characterized as computerized paper records.
3. Scandals like those at eHealth Ontario inhibit the expansion of EMRs.
