An electronic health record (EHR) is a collection of patient’s electronically-stored health information in a digital and systematic format. EHR system can store data accurately.
3. Introduction:
An electronic health record (EHR) is a collection of patient’s
electronically-stored health information in a digital and
systematic format. EHR system can store data accurately. It
eliminates the need to track down a patient's previous paper-
based medical records. Also it assists in ensuring data is
accurate and readable. It can reduce risk of data replication.
EHRs are up to date and decreases risk of lost paperwork as in
traditional paper based system.
4. Objective:
The scope of the EHR is recognized as being broader than
the documentation of illnesses and their prevention and
treatment.
At reasonable cost right information is deliver
Maintain privacy and security of patient health information
Improve quality, safety, efficiency, and reduce health
disparitiesed to right person at right time.
6. Existing System:
Records of patients were offline storage i.e. paper work
presentation
Implementation of some form of electronic health
record has been achieved in some countries over
recent years. Examples like in Malaysia, Korea , China
7. Proposed System:
For supporting digital India, EHR will help to
build a IOT based hospital application which will include
all information contained in a traditional health record
including a patient’s health profile and all their sensitive
health related data.
This will also provide -
Authentications for doctors and patients.
Facility to automatically collect all health related data
at the point of contact with a patient.
8. Hardware Requirement:
System : Pentium IV 2.4 GHz.
Hard Disk : 40 GB
Graphics Memory: 512MB .
Software Requirement:
RAM : 4 GB.
OS : Windows 7 and later.
Front End : Java
IDE :Eclipse Mars
Back End : MySQL
9. Conclusion:
EHR reduces manual work and provides efficient ways for
storing and retrieving of electronic medical records. Electronic
health records are central to creating health information
organizations and a nationwide health information network. The
current paper-based system is fraught with multiple
shortcomings. Apart of the prospective benefits of electronic
health records, obstacles and controversies continue. Clinical
decision support is still in its beginning and will likely improve
in the future with artificial intelligence.
