Ambulatory electronic health record (EHR)
refers to a record that is maintained electronically in order to store the
patient's medical records, which includes information about all surgeries and medical
care that does not involves the need for the patient being admitted to a
hospital or that are given in non-hospital settings such as urgent care clinics,
physicians’ offices and at-home medical care. Health care providers can easily
share information using this type of record. Ambulatory EHRs are stored in electronic databases that
are accessible to doctors and other medical professionals which allows a
physician to view a patient’s complete and accurate medical history. The global ambulatory
EHR market is expected to grow in the future due to several advantages of
EHRs over conventional health record systems such as the easy accessibility to
the patient’s records.
