4. Definition of Qualified Electronic Health Record (EHR)

   Qualified EHR is defined at section 3000(13) of the PHSA as ``
  • an electronic Record of health-related information on an individual that:
    • (A) Includes patient demographic and clinical health information, such as medical history and problem lists; and
    • (B) has the capacity:
      • (i) To provide clinical decision support;
      • (ii) to support physician order entry;
      • (iii) to capture and query information relevant to health care quality; and
      • (iv) to exchange electronic health information with, and integrate such information from other sources.``

We have adopted the statutory definition of Qualified EHR without modification.
