An electronic medical record or EMR is a digital form of medical (hospital or clinic) record [1].

While the Electronic health record or EHR is supposed to deal with the complete records of a person, in health and disease, the EMR is restricted to only diseased conditions, as recorded in a hospital or a clinic.

Features and Uses

These are quite similar to those for the EHR.
