healthcare processes, with use reaching unprecedented rates. Now, we are poised to take it the next level with the intelligent EHR. The intelligent EHR will look very similar to the traditional system – one can still look up patient results and history and write prescriptions but the application will move past transactional functions. The intelligent EHR will be characterized by sophisticated and flexible decision support, rules engines, process monitoring engines, intelligent displays of important patient data, access to knowledge resources, the ability to collect data from multiple care settings through a health information exchange, and tools that enable provider collaboration.
