EHR is probably the most important software used in hospitals because it allows them to store and update patient data, treatment history, diagnoses, prescriptions, medical records, allergy information, and more. EHR software maintains the continuity of treatment and significantly reduces administrative work.

EHR systems are designed to store data accurately and to capture the state of a patient across time. It eliminates the need to track down a patient's previous paper medical records and assists in ensuring data is up-to-date, accurate and legible.

The name Permanente came from Permanente Creek, which flowed past Henry Kaiser's Kaiser Permanente Cement Plant on Black Mountain in Cupertino, California. Kaiser's first wife, Bess Fosburgh, liked the name.
