The difference between an electronic medical record (EMR) and an electronic health record (EHR) is:
EMRs are protected by HIPAA, EHRs are not
EHRs are protected by HIPAA and EMRs are not
The EMR is a record from a single provider, an EHR is a more comprehensive record from all providers of care
The EHR is a record from a single provider, an EMR is a more comprehensive record from all providers of care
EMRs exist in written form; EHRs do not exist in written form
