EHR Intelligence
A system used mainly in clinical trials to electronically record, store, and organize research data. Major pharmaceutical, biotech, and clinical research organizations use EDC systems to digitize information collection, fast-tracking the innovation and product development processes. These systems usually consist of a user interface, data validation software, and statistical analytic components for accurate and useful data capture.
EHR Intelligence
The sending and receiving of data directly between trading partners without paper or human intervention.
American Telemedicine Association
A systematic collection of electronic health information and medical history about individual patients or populations that is recorded in digital format and capable of being shared across health care settings via network-connected enterprise-wide information systems and other information networks or exchanges. EHRs provide access to evidence-based decision support tools to aid clinicians in decision making. EHRs generally include patient demographics, medical history, medication, allergies, immunization status, laboratory test results, radiology and other medical images, vital signs, characteristics such as age and weight, and billing information.
