Abstract
Electronic medical records (EMRs) are being quickly adopted in clinics around the world. This advancement can greatly enhance the clinical care of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) by providing formats that allow easier review of medical documents and more structured avenues to store relevant information. MS clinicians should be involved with implementing and updating EMRs at their institutions to ensure EMR formats that benefit MS clinics. EMRs also provide opportunities for research studies of MS to access detailed, longitudinal data of MS disease course that would otherwise be difficult to collect.
