I just want to make sure I'm understanding this correctly.  If I understand 
your response above, you're saying that EPR and EHR are one and the same.  The 
reason I ask again is that the second example in Appendix A of "Access to 
Electronic Health Records" seems to imply that they are different in the 
following sense.  It looks like the EPR is a record of a specific transaction 
and that the EHR is a compliation of EPR's over time.

Thanks,
Bill
