Understanding EMR, EHR & PHR
“EMR. EHR. PHR.
They sound the same… but they’re not.
Let’s break it down, fast.
EMR is a clinic’s internal record.
One practice. One system.
Great for documentation but it doesn’t travel well.
EHR is bigger.
It follows the patient across hospitals, labs, and specialists.
This is how care actually stays connected.
And PHR?
That one’s yours.
Your health data—apps, portals, wearables, controlled by you.
Here’s a real-life example:
A home health nurse documents your visit in the EMR.
Your primary doctor sees that update through the EHR.
And you check your vitals and care plan in your patient app—that’s the PHR.
Simple way to remember it:
EMR is for providers.
EHR is for the system.
PHR is for the patient.
When they work together, care flows.
When they don’t, everyone feels the friction.
