Private Sector Funding Physicians’ Link With Electronic Health Record System

With the private sector’s financial support, 1 trillion rials ($3.57 million) have been allocated to help physicians link up with DrNext.ir, a local electronic health record and prescription website.
In a ceremony on Monday, Iran's major e-commerce platform Digikala and its e-payment subsidiary Digipay announced joining forces to offer loans worth 300 million rials ($1,100) to help physicians equip offices with the requisite digital systems to connect with DrNext, IRNA reported.
Officials emphasized that in order to store health records and prescriptions of patients online, physicians would need laptops, tablets or smartphones, as well as other ICT infrastructure connecting their offices to the website.
As stated at the event, not all of the listed devices need to be used; physicians may select the digital device best suited and convenient for them.
