Electronic Health Record (EHR)

Electronic Health Record (EHR) 

EHR systems are intended to keep track of a patient's entire health and medical history in a computerized, electronic format. By keeping these potentially vast records in this manner, they are more easily retrievable, and can make a patient's navigation through the healthcare system much safer and more efficient.

MapMyLab portal offers a centralized EHR (Electronic Health Record) system and allows the user to access their health records on demand any time.

Personal Health Record (PHR):

Personal health records, also known as personal medical records (PMRs), are records kept by a patient to make his or her navigation through MapmyLab more efficient.

Unlike electronic medical records (EMRs) kept by some doctors, healthcare facilities and insurance companies, the contents of a PHR are determined by the patient and stored in the manner he or she wishes.

As the Patient Health Records are archived in secure cloud based storage system and be retrieved on demand, there is no loss of information in the event of loss of original test records.
