Relation to electronic health record systems

Sometimes there is a distinction between a PAS and a EHR. This article should discuss the difference (if there is any) and refer to source. I have a hard time finding good authorative sources onthe topic. It could indicate that PAS should be discussed as a part of EHR systems instead of having a separate article.
