Without accurate information, performing and managing care becomes difficult. These records are readily available if a patient seeks care from the same provider every time. However, in reality, a patient’s healthcare journey takes them to multiple providers and hospitals at different times. Because the patient’s health hinges on the accuracy of their medical records, it’s crucial for the systems used by different providers and hospitals to be interoperable. And to make this interoperability possible, it’s vital to have some industry-recognized standards for how these records are structured, stored, and transferred. That’s where the standards defined by Health Level 7 (HL7) come in.") - [Electronic Health Records (Managed Package)](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.health_cloud_object_reference.meta/health_cloud_object_reference/sforce_api_objects_ehr.htm "Salesforce Health Cloud provides custom objects to store the data contained in the standard electronic health record (EHR) fields.")
