EMR stands for Electronic Medical Record. It is a digital version of a patient's chart used by doctors and health teams to track medical history, lab results, and prescriptions.
What EMR Does in Pharmacy
- Checks drug safety: Alerts pharmacists about bad drug mixes or patient allergies.
- Tracks medication: Shows a clear history of what drugs a patient has taken.
- Shares patient data: Helps pharmacists see notes from doctors to give safer care.
