EHealth

I'll use this label to connect various Internet-driven technologies changes in HealthCare: EMR, PMR, Online Prescribing, etc.

• cf Participatory Medicine, Digital Therapeutics

variations on electronic record keeping

• EMR - Electronic Medical Record - typically owned by institution (provider or payer), focused on interactions involving paid services

• EHR - Electronic Health Record - broader data set, still owned by institution (hmm, some frame it as being the multi-institution version, like a RHIO)

• PMR - Patient Medical Record - like EMR, but controlled by patient

• PHR - Patient Health Record - controlled by patient, most likely to be broadest in data capture (Diet And Exercise logs, etc.)

EHealth Standards for InterOp

Does any of it really reduce Medical Error?
