电子健康记录(EHR)在促进公共卫生部门和初级保健提供者(PCP)在维护健康社区方面更有效地协调方面具有巨大的潜力。作为记录患者健康数据的系统，可以利用EHR来改进对传染病和慢性病的公共卫生监测。EHR促进了根据公共卫生目标发出的临床警报，这些目标实时指导初级保健医生诊断和治疗患者。随着卫生部门重新评估其公共卫生议程，应考虑在初级保健环境中使用EHR来促进这一议程。反过来，PCP和EHR供应商将需要配置他们的EHR系统和实践工作流，以与公共卫生优先事项保持一致，因为这些议程包括初级保健提供者更多地参与解决公共卫生问题。
Electronic health records (EHRs) have great potential to serve as a catalyst for more effective coordination between public health departments and primary care providers (PCP) in maintaining healthy communities. As a system for documenting patient health data, EHRs can be harnessed to improve public health surveillance for communicable and chronic illnesses. EHRs facilitate clinical alerts informed by public health goals that guide primary care physicians in real time in their diagnosis and treatment of patients. As health departments reassess their public health agendas, the use of EHRs to facilitate this agenda in primary care settings should be considered. PCPs and EHR vendors, in turn, will need to configure their EHR systems and practice workflows to align with public health priorities as these agendas include increased involvement of primary care providers in addressing public health concerns.
