Background
The HIMSS Electronic Health Record committee chartered this effort to support
measurement of the penetration of electronic health records in health systems
and physician practices by 2010. The EHR Definition Model includes an
operational EHR definition, key attributes, essential requirements to meet
attributes, and measures used to assess the extent to which an organization is
using an EHR.
