Electronic health record 1 article

electronic health record occupies a distinct place in clinical development and regulated biomedical research as a digital longitudinal record of a patient’s clinical care. Understanding the entity requires connecting digital patient medical record to longitudinal clinical data, with diagnoses and problem lists adding a key design, measurement or mechanistic dimension. Within applied research, medication records and laboratory test results are recurring contexts, with clinical notes defining another technical boundary of the tag. An EHR is a clinical data source and care record; real-world evidence is created only after such data are analyzed for a defined research or regulatory question.
