Definition
Plain language
The digital system hospitals and clinics use to store a patient's medical records.
As stated in the literature
Electronic Health Record software — clinical systems for storing and managing patient data; used as a representative regulated-software category in computer-use agent training environments like CUA-Gym's web mocks.
Also called: electronic health records, electronic health record
Why it matters: It centralizes patient information so care teams act on accurate records, and it's a demanding, high-stakes setting for any software-operating AI.
For example, when a nurse pulls up your allergies, current medications, and last visit on a clinic computer, that's the EHR at work.
