What is a hybrid medical record?

  1. A record that is never electronic

  2. A totally electronic health record

  3. A combination of electronic and paper records

  4. A paper-based record

The correct answer is: A combination of electronic and paper records

A hybrid medical record is characterized as a combination of electronic and paper records. This approach often arises in healthcare settings where some patient documentation exists in electronic formats while other documents, such as older records or specific forms, remain in traditional paper formats. This blend enables healthcare providers to take advantage of both electronic health record (EHR) systems, which improve accessibility and efficiency, and physical records, which may still be necessary for various reasons, such as compliance with regulatory requirements or the availability of historical data. While a hybrid system offers flexibility and facilitates the transition towards a fully electronic system, it also requires careful management to ensure that both types of records are integrated and that providers can access all necessary information efficiently.
