For several years many hospitals and other healthcare organizations have been implementing Electronic Health Records (EHR) computer systems to record and manage their medical information.
During a clinical trial, the sponsor will likely have an Electronic Data Capture (EDS) system to record the clinical data. This may mean that the data would be entered twice - once in the EDC system and once in the EHR system. Besides generating a lot more work, there are serious data reliability issues when the data is entered twice.
The developers of the EHR systems have done a considerable amount of work to assure more quality in the medical information. This includes things like Standards that all of the systems are required to follow and Interoperability which assures that they can share information between systems reliably.
