Better quality of care EHR enables doctors to provide excellent service to their patients by making patient information easily accessible, resulting in more effective treatment. They also improve treatment effectiveness while increasing clinical productivity in the practice. Most EHRs include health analytics that assist physicians in identifying patterns, forecasting diagnoses, and recommending treatment choices. Instead of depending on trial-and-error methods, these analytics provide more efficient overall patient outcomes the first time around. Patients may visit patient websites to view previous medical data such as lab and imaging results, medications, diagnoses, and other information. Patients may communicate with their physicians by sharing information, sending text messages, or even participating through video conferencing.

The electronic health record (EHR) at that point called the electronic medical record (EMR) or computerized patient record. The Electronic Health Record (EHR) is about quality, wellbeing, and proficiency. An EHR is an electronic rendition of a patient's clinical history, that is kept up by the supplier after some time, and may incorporate the entirety of the key managerial clinical information applicable to that people care under a specific supplier, including socioeconomics, progress notes, issues, meds, imperative signs, past clinical history, vaccinations, research center information, and radiology reports. The EHR computerizes access to data and can possibly smooth out the clinician's work process. The EHR likewise can bolster other consideration-related exercises legitimately or by implication through different interfaces, including proof-based choice help, quality administration, and result announcement.

Virtual AI encompasses informatics, deep learning, directing health management systems, and assisting physicians with diagnosis and treatment plans (Hamet & Tremblay, 2017). Many countries use electronic health records (EHR), and some countries require EHR to be used by health providers. An EHR is a patient’s information stored in a digital format including health history, treatments, medications, test results, images, and more. EHRs not only store valuable patient information but also include a variety of formats, and can accumulate a large amount of data over time. EHR can be used to make effective healthcare decisions, but entering, accessing, and effectively evaluating all information in an EHR during the time given in one patient visit can be difficult for clinicians (Bhavaraju, 2018). Some healthcare organizations are investing in AI to evaluate the immense amounts of health information. By introducing AI, the hope is to aid in health decision and reduce the number of medical errors (Towers-Clark, 2018).

Electronic health records (EHRs) are electronic versions of longitudinal individual health records that are easily accessible and can be shared between various stakeholders. They include patient health information such as progress notes, medications, past medical history, immunizations, laboratory data, and radiology reports. In the EHR context, patients can be reframed as “consumers” on the assumption that they have a consumer’s right to select and choose in the health marketplace.2 EHRs have the potential to empower healthcare consumers by providing them with easier access to their health data. This, in turn, allows them to exert more control over their health records and transform their ability to actively engage in their health care. Previous research suggests that improved health outcomes, enhanced quality of life, and delivery of more appropriate, cost-effective services can result when consumers are given access to, and control of, their healthcare information.3
Impact of hospital size on healthcare information system effectiveness: evidence from healthcare data analytics

There are many types of HISs that function in different aspects of healthcare operations. Electronic medical record (EMR) is used to store electronic medical information generated during the process of diagnosis. EMR is designed according to the diagnosis process in the medical facility and rarely extended outside the scope of a hospital, clinic, or medical center. Electronic health record (EHR) is the systematic collection of electronic health information about patients, which can go beyond the scope of a single medical facility. EHR integrates information across different facilities and systems, and EMR can serve as a type of data source for the EHR (Habib, 2010; Kierkegaard, 2011). An important component of EHR is the Continuum of Care Document (CCD), which is a healthcare standard for sharing and exchanging patient data across organizations. According to the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS), the adoption of HISs lags far behind that in other industries in the country. Abelson and Creswell (2014) reported that only 44 percent of all institutions have adopted basic electronic systems necessary for properly coordinating patient care. A large fraction of healthcare providers only implemented a clinical data repository system – the most basic component of the EHR system, but have not yet implemented other useful HISs such as computerized practitioner order entry (CPOE) or a clinical decision support system.

An EHR is a virtual record of every health related event such as a hospital admission, general practitioner visit or allergic episode experienced by an individual from in-utero to after-death (WHO 2006). The EHR is intended to be a person’s life-long longitudinal medical record containing data from multiple episodes and providers, and extends beyond inpatient care to ambulatory care settings (Gesulgaa et al. 2017; Nguyen, Bellucci, and Nguyen 2014). In the U.S.A., the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) has given every patient the right to review their medical record and some 90% of US hospitals have now given their patients access to EHR (AHA 2018). In Europe, 65% of patients have access to EHRs in healthcare facilities, and 81% of patients have access to hospital EHR (Armstrong 2017).
