An electronic health record (EHR) is "defined as a longitudinal collection of electronic health information about individual patients and populations."[1] It is a record in digital format that is theoretically capable of being shared across different health care settings. In some cases, this sharing can occur by way of network-connected enterprise-wide information systems and other information networks or exchanges.
In the United States, many EHRs have been certified by the Office of the National Coordinator's (ONC) Health IT Certification Program. Those certifications are based on "standards, implementation specifications and certification criteria adopted by the Secretary."[2] The ONC's Certified Health IT Product List is an excellent resource for browsing EHR and electronic medical record (EMR) vendors. It can be found at https://chpl.healthit.gov/. One approach is to click the "Browse All' button, then on the new screen select "Certification Status" and uncheck "Suspended by ONC" and "Suspended by ONC-ACB." That will give you a list of active results. Of course, you can apply additional filters, compare products (including certification criteria and clinical quality measures), and download results.
