The popularity of the electronic medical record (EMR) in Moscow continues to grow: in 2024, residents used the service over 400 million times. This is 35 percent more than in 2023. Thanks to the EMR, residents of the capital have become more active in monitoring their health and have access to test results, examinations, and doctor recommendations at any time. This was reported by Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development.

“Five years ago, we opened access to an electronic medical record for Moscow patients, which has already become an integral part of the Moscow healthcare system. Thanks to the EHR, patients can see their medical data – tests, examinations and doctor’s appointments – at any time and in any place. In 2024, residents of the capital accessed the service over 400 million times, which is 35 percent more than last year. Since the opening of access to the electronic medical record, Muscovites have used it more than one billion times. This growth in popularity indicates that digital solutions are becoming useful and familiar tools in everyday life. More and more Muscovites are actively monitoring their health: more than 300 million records of pulse, pressure, sugar, oxygen in the blood and other important parameters have already been entered into the “Health Diary”, – noted Anastasia Rakova.

The most active users of the electronic medical record are city residents aged 35 to 54 years. In second place are Muscovites over 55 years old, and in third place are residents of the capital from 18 to 34 years old. It is noted that most patients most often view their EMRs between 12:00 and 15:00.

The electronic medical record contains the results of analyses and instrumental examinations, such as CT, MRI, ultrasound and fluorography, including images of medical images. The service provides access to medical examination protocols, information on dispensary observation and medical examination, data on ambulance calls, vaccination information, received prescriptions, hospital discharge summaries and a number of medical certificates. In addition, the EHR provides access to the hospital treatment history and other information online.

One of the sections of the EHR popular with the capital’s residents is the “Health Diary”. It can contain various parameters: pulse and its rhythm, weight and height, body temperature, blood sugar and oxygen levels, blood pressure and information about angina attacks. Since last year, city residents can add health data to the electronic medical record through the mobile application “EMIAS. INFO” not only in text, but also by voice or using a photo. This option significantly reduces time costs and makes interaction with the service more convenient. In addition, Muscovites can independently add and download medical documents from the electronic medical record, as well as enter information about personal and family history in the sections “My data” and “My family history”.

Muscovites can now enter data into their electronic medical records using voice and photo

Last year, a new function became available in the electronic medical record for parents of newborns in intensive care and neonatology departments of children’s hospitals, maternity hospitals and perinatal centers – 24-hour video surveillance. Now parents can remotely monitor the condition of their babies. Moreover, they will be given access to the children’s EMR if the relationship is confirmed in their personal account on the mos.ru portal.

All Moscow residents who have reached the age of 15 and have a compulsory medical insurance policy can use the electronic medical record. To do this, you need to register on the mos.ru portal. For those with a full account, the electronic medical record is available automatically, and those with a standard account will need to wait up to five working days after submitting an application. If the personal account of a parent with a full account contains confirmed data on minor children or wards, access to their EMR will be provided automatically.

Moscow has been digitalizing its healthcare system for over 10 years. The basis of this process is now a single digital platform, which is supervised by the Moscow Social Development Complex and the capital Department of Information Technology. It provides personalized management of each patient at all stages – from diagnosis and treatment to follow-up. Thanks to the platform, all data on the health of city residents is available online to both doctors and patients.
