Health records, also known as medical records or patient records, are documents that contain information about an individual's medical history, diagnoses, treatments, and outcomes. These records are typically created and maintained by healthcare providers, such as hospitals, clinics, and physician offices, to track a patient's health status and treatment over time. Health records play a crucial role in ensuring coordinated and effective healthcare by providing clinicians with important information about a patient's health and medical history. They also help to facilitate communication between healthcare providers and support continuity of care. In recent years, the move towards electronic health records (EHR) has allowed for greater accessibility, interoperability, and efficiency in managing health information.
