TLA Heaven

One of the joys of starting a major new project is figuring out all the TLAs (Three Letter Acronyms). The current push for HIT and HIE in the USA is no different, and is awash in TLAs that are still struggling to define themselves. EHR, EMR, PHR, WTH? IDK.

Software Advice has, IMO, a nice piece up discussing the difference between an Electronic Medical Record and Electronic Health Record, complete with some cool numbers and graphs from Google. Click through to read EHR vs EMR - What’s the Difference?

Bonus points for knowing all the acronyms above :) If you need help you can always consult the Urban Dictionary.‎
