Abstract

Background and aims: The Sina Electronic Health Record (SinaEHR) system was developed to support primary care delivery across Iran by enabling chronic disease monitoring, infectious disease surveillance, health policy decision-making, and quality improvement initiatives.

Methods: The SinaEHR system was implemented by Mashhad University of Medical Sciences which contains health records of over 5 million people across various regions of Iran. It utilizes the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) version 10, integrating laboratory results through a laboratory information system to facilitate real-time clinical decision-making.

Results: Widespread implementation of the SinaEHR system has established an invaluable healthcare infrastructure resource for the improvement of primary care services across Iran. Strict security and confidentiality measures are enforced to protect sensitive patient information.

Conclusion: The SinaEHR system significantly advances Iran’s healthcare infrastructure by providing a comprehensive electronic health record platform to improve healthcare delivery and promote evidence-based decision-making.
