Electronic Health Record
from Zweena:
An Electronic Health Record(EHR) is a digital-format record of patient’s health information that can be shared across different healthcare departments using specialized networked systems.
The Electronic Health Record is generated and maintained within an institution to give patients, physicians, other caregivers, employers and insurers access to a patient’s medical records.
An Electronic Health Record may contain data such as medical history, vital signs, immunization status, medication and allergies, test results, radiology images as well as personal data like age, weight, and billing information

Electronic Health Record
Some people believe that an electronic health record may be more comprehensive than a PHR (Personal Health Record) in terms of the quantity, variety and scope of the medical information it contains about a patient, but it is actually more susceptible to theft, misuse or abuse because there is a larger number of people accessing and controlling the information. An electronic health record also does not allow the patient to control how their health data is used, since the data is collected and maintained by the various institutions concerned.
With a PHR, the patient has control over how their health information is used, and is empowered to make the right health choices. A PHR also enables the patient to be able to provide critical information in areas where an electronic health record may not be accessible, since by definition an electronic health record is maintained within a network of institutions that have access to it, and the patient may be receiving treatment at an institution that is not within the coverage of the EHR network, presenting the PHR as the only viable source of critical and often life-saving information under such conditions.
Zweena allows you to create web-based (online) PHR’s that can be securely and privately accessed at any time, from any location – giving you control over your health information.
