Answer: ...

Use of electronic health records (EHRs)

Explanation:

An Electronic Health Record (EHR) is an electronic version of a patients medical history, that is maintained by the provider over time, and may include all of the key administrative clinical data relevant to that persons care under a particular provider, including demographics, progress notes, problems, medications.

An electronic health record (EHR) is a digital version of a patient's paper chart. EHRs are real-time, patient-centered records that make information available instantly and securely to authorized users. An electronic health record is the systematized collection of patient and population electronically-stored health information in a digital format. These records can be shared across different health care settings.
