Health Information Exchange (HIE) is the term used for electronically transferring medical records between facilities around the country.

One benefit of EHR is that it is much more secure than paper records.

Another benefit of technology in the medical field is the ability of patients to access medical information through the Internet, promoting a better understanding of diagnosed medical conditions and their treatments.

The enterprise-wide master patient index (EMPI) references all patients in multiple facilities.

The main function of the medical record is to collect patient data and store it so that it is accessible for all needing access.

An EHR and PHR are the same thing.

CPOE accepts physician orders electronically to replace handwritten or verbal orders and prescriptions .
