What was on of the first terms used to conceptualize the idea of an EHR?

One of the first terms used to conceptualize the idea of an Electronic Health Record (EHR) was "computer-based patient records" (CPRs). This term emerged in the 1960s and 1970s as healthcare providers began exploring the use of computers to manage patient information. The concept evolved over time, leading to the broader adoption of EHRs that integrate comprehensive patient data into digital formats for improved accessibility and coordination of care.
