Electronic Health Record (EHR)
A shared summary of patient encounters across the continuum of care incorporating the individual patient's medical record in an electronic format. Typically an EHR is accessed and updated by multiple healthcare providers to provide a longitudinal record of a patient’s medical history.

Electronic health record systems co-ordinate the storage and retrieval of individual records with the aid of computers, often over a network, from many locations and/or sources.

EHR systems can reduce medical errors, increase physician efficiency and reduce costs, as well as promote standardization of care.

Orion Health's EHR solution provides healthcare organizations with an accurate, permanent and centrally-accessible electronic file containing key aspects of an individual patient's medical history.

Orion Health's EHR solution delivers:

  • Increased patient safety: All information about the patients existing conditions, allergies and drug intolerances is available when Physicians need it, where they need it so that they can make the best decisions for their patients.
  • Increased efficiency: A single source of accurate patient data means Physicians don't need to spend time logging in to different specialist clinical systems or contacting other healthcare institutions for information.
  • Trend and data analysis: A central clinical repository of clinical information means that information can be mined and analyzed to contribute to more effective healthcare delivery in the future, and can give a better understanding of trends, patterns and epidemiology in public health.
