What Is an Electronic Health Care System?
An electronic healthcare system is a digital platform that stores, manages, and organizes a patient’s medical information in one centralized location. Instead of using paper files, hospitals and clinics use computers, tablets, and secure software to record health details like:
- Vaccinations
- Growth charts
- Allergies
- Medical history
- Doctor visits
- Lab reports
- Prescriptions
- Treatment plans
This system helps doctors access your child’s health information instantly. It also ensures that nothing is lost, misplaced, or forgotten—something that often happens with paper records.
In simple words:
An electronic health care system is a digital version of all your child’s medical records, managed electronically to make healthcare easier and safer.
