An Electronic Health Record (EHR) is a digital system designed to store and manage patients’ health information. EHRs facilitate physician documentation, provide secure storage of patient data, and offer features for automated scheduling, billing, reporting, and more. Selecting the right EHR is crucial for efficient healthcare operations. Factors to consider when choosing an EHR include technical requirements, ease of data migration, software support, security, scalability, and staff adoption.

What the CURES Act Means for EHI and Information Sharing
The CURES Act, enacted in 2016, focuses on streamlining healthcare information sharing, improving mental health services, addressing the opioid crisis, and enhancing privacy protections. It promotes electronic health information (EHI) accessibility while prohibiting information blocking practices. Information blocking encompasses any interference with EHI flow, primarily in electronic health records.
