For example, in June 2022, the UK government committed to investing billions into electronic health records for England. The government announced a £2 billion ($2.10 billion) investment to ensure all NHS (National Health Service) trusts have electronic health records by March 2025. This investment aims to upgrade outdated IT (Information Technology) systems and achieve universal electronic patient records across all NHS trusts.

New Health Records Feature Brings Seamless Access To Prescriptions And Lab Results
Leading companies in the electronic medical records market are prioritizing the development of advanced health record features to provide seamless access to prescriptions and lab results. A key innovation is a secure health locker that stores personal health data, ensuring it remains protected and accessible only to the user. This solution adheres to the highest standards of privacy and security, safeguarding sensitive medical information. For instance, in January 2025, Samsung, a South Korea-based consumer electronics corporation, launched the Health Records feature on its Samsung Health app in India, in alignment with the government's Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM). This new feature enables users to create and access their Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA) directly within the app, providing a secure platform for managing health data such as prescriptions, lab results and hospital visits, all linked to their ABHA ID. Users can register using their Aadhaar or mobile number and access a secure health locker. Additionally, the feature streamlines outpatient services by allowing users to generate virtual queue tokens through QR code scanning at ABDM-compliant hospitals.
