EMR stands for Electronic Medical Record. EMRs are used by medical professionals as a means to document and communicate clinical information about patients between providers. They make data portable and easily accessible to professionals providing you with treatment.

A PHR is the layman’s version of the EMR (Electronic Medical Record). You would use a PHR as a means to keep up with the information that you might normally share with a doctor. It may include information about self-reported glucose levels if you’re a diabetic, your mood if you’re dealing with depression, your self-recorded blood pressure if you’re fighting hypertension, or any number of aspects of your health. Upkeep of PHRs used to be dependent upon the patient. Recently, some PHR models have also started electronically importing information from EMRs for the patient to access.
