A computer record of an individual's medical file that may be shared across multiple healthcare settings. In some cases this sharing can occur by way of network-connected enterprise-wide information systems and other information networks or exchanges. EHRs may include a range of data including demographics, medical history, medication and allergies, immunization status, laboratory test results, radiology images, vital signs, personal stats such as age and weight and billing information. Their accessibility and standardization can facilitate large-scale data collection for researchers.
