e-Health record
The Electronic Health Record (e-Health Record) is a nationwide system that integrates data from Estonia’s different healthcare providers to create a common record that every patient can access online. Each person in Estonia who has visited a doctor has his/her own online e-Health story that can be tracked.
Functioning very much like a centralized, national database, the e-Health Record actually retrieves data as necessary from various providers, who may be using different systems, and presents it in a standard format via the e-Patient portal. A result is a powerful tool for doctors that allows them to access a patient’s records easily from a single electronic file. Doctors can read test results as they are entered, including image files such as X-rays even from remote hospitals. Patients have access to their own and to their underaged children`s records, and the records of persons who have given authorisation to them for seeing their medical data. By logging into the health portal (ID-card/m-ID), they can review past visits to the doctor, current prescriptions, and receive general health advice.
KSI Blockchain technology is used to ensure the integrity of retrieved electronic medical records as well as system access logs.
