One of the major changes that has taken place in the healthcare industry is the adoption of digital technology, which is necessary for better patient care, the smooth running of the organisation, and transparency to the regulators. The main factors that are responsible for this upward trend are Electronic Health Records (EHRs) and Medical Device databases, which not only keep the record of healthcare but also are the critical pillars of the new digital healthcare ecosystem.
Unfortunately, in most hospitals, these two are standalone systems, with the result that there are certain gaps that make it difficult for the staff to have easy interaction and share data.
Pharmaknowl is tackling this issue by creating connected and smart care solutions that overcome these barriers. Their technology facilitates the smooth running of different systems, and at the same time, ensures that all the healthcare standards are met, while at the same time strengthening the trust in the healthcare infrastructure through the seamless flow of information. Pharmaknowl, by integrating these two systems, can make health care simple, coordinated, transparent, and efficient through the use of technology.
EHRs, or Electronic Health Records, are complete computerised files of a patient’s medical history. They contain personal information, diagnoses, prescribed medicines, lab tests, treatment plans, and notes made by healthcare providers.
The utilisation of EHRs has positively changed the entire medical sector by cutting down on paperwork, lessening errors and providing easy-to-use communication channels for healthcare professionals, nurses and specialists. Moreover, EHRs enable patients to obtain their medical records with less trouble and share information with healthcare providers more efficiently.
However, even if they provide a wide range of advantages, the issue of the accuracy, privacy, and access by authorised persons to these records remains the main difficulty, particularly when it comes to verifying those individuals who have the right to access or make changes to these records.
MD registration systems are databases at the national or regional level that validate the credentials of medical practitioners. They verify that physicians are licensed, certificates are valid, and professional regulations are adhered to. MD registration systems maintain information about physicians’ qualifications, specialties, license numbers, and license renewal dates.
These registrations often exist in a vacuum from healthcare data systems. If EHRs and MD registration systems are not linked, there is no way to guarantee that only qualified and currently active licensed professionals have access to patient data. Such a separation may result in a lack of effectiveness in the area of compliance and security.
When MD registration is combined with EHRs, access to sensitive health data is restricted to only approved practitioners. For every login, data entry, or update, there would be verification through a centralised database that confirms the doctor’s registration status. This significantly reduces the possibilities of uploading information or unauthorised access.
It can take hospitals weeks to physically validate the licenses and credentials of a healthcare professional whom they have recently hired. If there were an integrated system, the hospital would have the ability to verify in real-time by automatically confirming the registration status before delegating access to the EHR platform. This is a time-saver and eliminates the need for administrative backlog.
The linking of EHR systems to MD registration allows the tracking of an account, even the smallest one, to a certain and verified practitioner. As a result, a complete audit trail is created, which fosters both accountability and professional openness in the decision-making process of the healthcare sector.
Patient privacy laws in the healthcare sector, e.g., HIPAA, GDPR, or local data protection regulations, require the implementation of very strict access controls for patient records. Integration contributes to meeting the requirement by automatically handling the permissions and giving clear access logs for the regulators.
Currently, technology plays an essential role in connecting EHRs and MD registration systems. Seamless integration can be achieved with several digital tools and frameworks:
If these technologies were to be used individually, they would still be quite impressive within the healthcare sector; however, their combined application has a more substantial impact. Synergistically, these technological advancements convert the healthcare sector into an integrated system, which not only facilitates the saving of time and resources by healthcare organisations but also enables them to establish relationships of trust with each other due to less overlap and greater effectiveness.
When integration is well executed, the advantages are life-changing:
The healthcare system of tomorrow will require that different software and devices be able to interact with each other without security breaches, in an efficient manner, and in real-time. Innovative healthcare organisations can leverage the Electronic Health Records (EHR) systems integration with Medical Device (MD) registration to establish a compliant yet dynamic integrated framework.
With the pace of digital transformation increasing, platforms such as Pharmaknowl are leading the change toward smarter technology-driven solutions that promote increased transparency and efficiency in healthcare. Advanced integration will bring healthcare closer to a future where data point accuracy, patient safety and a doctor’s accountability are easily shared.
