Digital technology has transformed the world radically - tablets, smartphones, and web-enabled devices have revolutionized our daily life and way of communication. Medicine is an information-rich sector. A greater and smooth flow of information in the digital healthcare sector, created by the electronic health records (EHRs), encourages digital progress and can transform how patient care is delivered and compensated. An Electronic Health Record (EHR) is a pool of health information, stored digitally;

tablets, smartphones, and social media. Digital technology is so thoroughly merged into our everyday lives that being less connected is nearly unthinkable. But how has this digital revolution affected the way we conduct health care? We are in the centre of a nationwide integration of digital technology and health delivery via the electronic health record (EHR).
