contact@medibank.inMedibank is India's first cloud based Electronic Health Records (EHR) platform with centralised digital health records accessible by both users through an app and doctors via a cloud based web portal.
A digital version of a patient's medical history that's designed to be shared across multiple healthcare providers and organisations. EHRs can include information from multiple practices, providers, and locations.
The main difference between an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and an Electronic Health Record (EHR) is that an EMR is limited to a single practice, while an EHR can be used across multiple practices and healthcare organizations.
The short answer is Yes. Medibank is designed based on HL7 FHIR standards combined with AES-256bit encryption, the current strongest and commonly used encryption, for it to be flexible, adaptable and can be used in a wide range of settings with different health care information systems.
Primarily, your data can only be accessed by healthcare providers such as Doctors and Hospitals. However, Medibank is designed in a way where a user will get a notification asking permission for access to such data on every instance with exceptions of emergencies.
