Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the difference between Electronic Health Records and Electronic Medical Records from the perspective of IEEE. These terms have been used interchangeably, creating confusion within the healthcare ecosystem. While some attempts have been made in the past to distinguish these terms, given the advancement of technology associated with healthcare data, it is vital to reset the discussion on distinguishing these important terms. In this paper, an Electronic Medical Record is defined and the key differences between an Electronic Medical Record and an Electronic Health Record are delineated, thereby mitigating the confusion on the use of these important terms.
