1. Electronic Health Records (EHR): Digital version of a patient’s paper chart, providing real-time, patient-centered records. 2. Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS): Tools that provide clinical knowledge and patient-related information to enhance decision-making. 3. Practice Management Software: Manages day-to-day operations such as scheduling and billing. 4. Patient Portals: Secure online websites that give patients 24-hour access to personal health information. 5. Telehealth Systems: Enable remote patient consultations and monitoring.
