Introduction to the Evolution of Electronic Health Records Electronic Health Records (EHRs) have revolutionized healthcare by centralizing patient data, improving access, and reducing operational inefficiencies. However, traditional EHR systems face limitations, including limited interoperability, security concerns, and data siloing.
