EHR aims to be a miniature warehouse of medical records where the prescriptions, test reports, medical history, physical and psychological examinations, medication prescribed, diagnosis and prognosis, result of treatment and procedure implemented, allergies and other risk factors, disabilities and many more are accumulated in one folder without letting patients carry away those details.
An EHR system across all public and private healthcare facilities in the country will build an EHR Ecosystem.
