Some nerd at 207.74.79.75 thought he was funny and changed a statistic from 600,000 to "over 9000". I reverted it back. The original reference has been moved by the LA Times, however Electronic Health Records has the correct one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.215.170.130 (talk) 20:34, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

appear to be a hive of nonnotable websites trying to promote themselves. Does anybody agree with me that the charts should be removed? ThemFromSpace 17:13, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Could we add a link to Microchip implant (human)? Stars4change (talk) 05:54, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
Please don't just redirect, but start a discussion if you think this article should be merged with EHR. Thanks Mootros (talk) 19:31, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
KnowESys Hi I am new to editing Wikipedia but I do know that these are two different topics and have added a paragraph to the page that explains the difference. I have a pdf on the topic but don't know how to attach it to my reference. Help would be appreciated. —Preceding undated comment added 14:20, 23 January 2010 (UTC).
--KnowESys (talk) 14:14, 23 January 2010 (UTC)Many people in the US healthcare industry, our government, and the press use the terms electronic medical record (EMR) and electronic health record (EHR) interchangeably. However, these terms describe completely different concepts, both of which are crucial to the success of local, regional, and national goals to improve patient safety, improve the quality and efficiency of patient care, and reduce healthcare delivery costs. EHRs are reliant on EMRs being in place, and EMRs will never reach their full potential without interoperable EHRs in place. It s important to understand the differences, and to reduce confusion in the market.[1]
So, basically, everybody except KnowESys thinks the articles should be merged?--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 20:16, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
There are several IPs placing large numbers of search result and other links to several talk pages without any discussion or explanation other than confusing edit summaries. Could you please first discuss why these links are being added and what's meant by the edit summaries that say the edits are "required" and "legislative." Are you referring to a Wikipedia policy or some external entity that's requiring these additions or inclusion of information to the articles based on info from these links? What do these links accomplish and how are editors supposed to use them in the current and future editing of these articles? Talk pages are for discussion and clarification among editors, not as extensions of articles or an index or bibliography, so if there's a requirement to be included as part of these subjects, then the links need to be part of the actual article, not the talk page. If you need help, there are plenty of experienced editors who can help. Thanks. Flowanda | Talk 20:02, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

I feel there is much more to be discussed involving the Quality surrounding the Electronic Medical Records (EMR) Possible points could include the ability to restrict access to the document ensuring the document is edited by those with permission. The ability to create input boxes that restrict what the user can enter. Eg. Under the "Weight" input it will only allow for a numeric input rather the alphabetical. This is a minor technical addition but will ensure correct data is input. This method can also be used across the entire record, for example not allowing the user to progress to the next screen until the appropriate data has been entered (all relevant boxes has data in them). Also the joys of having an EMR is can instantly inform the user if this patient already has a file to reduce duplicate medical records. Just some things to ponder on

It says in the first sentence of 'Comparison with paper-based records' that "Paper-based records are still by far the most common method of recording patient information for most hospitals and practices in the U.S." But in the usage section, it states that 72% of office physicians are using basic electronic medical records. I believe the first statement is outdated data from 2009. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.252.102.185 (talk) 04:39, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
Even if electronic health record (EHR) is sometimes defined as a collection of electronic medical records (EMRs), I don't think it makes sense for these two articles to remain separate. The sections on social issues, technology, legal context, by country listings, etc., are entirely duplicative. It's not worth keeping up two separate articles which are 90% overlapping. -- Beland (talk) 15:22, 8 July 2013 (UTC) Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Medicine/Archive_15#EHR.2FEMR

Positive:
The article attempts to address the many areas associated with Electronic Medical Records,it describes the overall goal and objectives of the system including its uses, advantages, quality control, legalities, technical features which are essential to address.
Suggestions:
As Electronic Medical Records are a higher quantification of current Paper based medical records, I suggest that further detail is required in terms of privacy. It would also be good if infrastructure topics are explored within the article in order to highlight its importance and reasons why EMR's haven't been implemented world wide.
