According to an article published in the International Journal of Medical Informatics, sharing health information between patients and providers helps improve diagnosis, increases self-care, and helps patients know more about their health. The use of electronic health records (EMRs) is currently rare but is increasing in Canadian, American and UK primary care. Health information in EMRs is an important resource for clinical, research, and policy questions.

Health information privacy (HIP) protection and security have been a major concern for patients and providers. Studies in Europe on the evaluation of electronic health information pose a threat to electronic health records and the exchange of personal information. In addition, the traceability features of the software allow hospitals to collect detailed information on the products dispensed and to create a database of all treatments for research purposes can be.
