Abstract :
The healthcare system is facing critical issues with the effective and efficient storage and retention of patient health records. As information technology is gradually becoming more important nowadays, its use in health records has become crucial. The challenge of present documentation in electronic health records (EHRs) is that there is not enough documentation to demonstrate the quality and necessity of care. Common errors in using the EHRs were found to be more like scattered and discrete data without integration, which ultimately were not usable. Smart cards may be utilized for integrated health records and to simplify the prescription process, facilitate the delivery of care, and improve the standard of care given. Smart cards are portable integrated devices with data storage and data processing capabilities. The research paper focuses on how smart card technology can be applied to an essential and vital sector of healthcare. The system uses smartcards for personal identification and transfer of health data and provides data communication. In addition to personal information, general health information about the patient is also loaded onto the patient’s smart card. Healthcare providers use smart cards to access data about patients. Electronic health records with smart card usage enhance the integrated approach and have several advantages over paper records such as improving the accuracy, and quality of patient care, and reducing cost, efficiency, and productivity.
