ECR can refer to two different things:

  1. Amazon Elastic Container Registry: It is a fully managed Docker container registry service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) . It allows users to store, share, and deploy container images securely and reliably. Amazon ECR supports private repositories with resource-based permissions using AWS IAM, and users can use their preferred CLI to push, pull, and manage Docker images, Open Container Initiative (OCI) images, and OCI compatible artifacts.

  2. Electronic Case Reporting (eCR): It is an automated, real-time exchange of case report information between electronic health records (EHRs) and public health agencies. eCR moves data quickly, securely, and seamlessly from EHRs in healthcare facilities to state and local public health agencies. It uses a centralized platform that allows systems to communicate with each other in real-time, and it runs behind the scenes in the EHR to automatically capture and report required information. If information entered in the EHR matches codes of interest to public health, the data necessary for a public health report are sent to the platform. If the data meet jurisdictional reporting requirements, the report is sent to the appropriate public health agencies for investigation and follow-up. eCR is a joint effort of the Association of Public Health Laboratories, the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists, and CDC.
