Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is the automated, computer-to-computer interchange of business information in a standard electronic format among business partners over a secure, standardized connection. Postal Mail, fax, and email replaced by computer-to-computer EDI. Documents transfer directly from the sender's computer application (e.g. a logistics system) to the receiver's computer application (e.g. an order management system).

An EHR is the electronic equivalent of a patient’s paper chart, meant to computerize and advance the process of practice of the patient health information. LHREs embrace broader patient data for example medical history, diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, immunization dates, and test results.
