Electronic medical records (EMR) are digital records of visits to your primary care clinic that are entered into the computer by your health care provider. They contain information such as: allergens. test results. risk factors. prescriptions. medical history. disease diagnosis.
In summary, registries are patient-centered, purpose-driven, and designed to derive information on defined exposures and health outcome. In contrast, EHRs are visit-centered and transactional. Despite these differences, EHRs capture a wealth of data that is relevant to patient registries.
